## Symptoms

- * Management API's command 'set access-rule' doesn't validate existence or non-existence of object in the rule for the parameters:   
  ` destination.add, destination.remove 
  `  
  `install-on.add, install-on.remove 
  `  
  `service.add, service.remove
  `  
  `source.add, source.remove 
  `  
  `time.add, time.remove 
  `  
  `vpn.add, vpn.remove`  
  Management API's command 'set threat-rule' doesn't validate existence of object in the rule for the parameters:   
  ` destination.add, destination.remove 
  `  
  `install-on.add, install-on.remove 
  `  
  `service.add, service.remove 
  `  
  `source.add, source.remove 
  `  
  `protected-scope.add, protected-scope.remove`  
  If object already exist for 'add' parameters no warning or error would be return.  
  If object non-exist in the rule for 'remove' parameters no warning or error would be return.  

* In all scenario above the operation would be performed successfully and number of session will be increased by 1.  
  Audit log for this session will not contain change in "Changes" section.
