ASA 5545 multiple contexts and VPN password saving on client side

[mAcRoS]

So I configured Active-Active failover on my 5545 ASA's, and everything looks great other than 1 small thing - users cannot save passwords on their clients anymore. I "ticked" that in ASDM before, which is an equivalent to setting "password-storage enable" in the group policy attribues, but now the command is gone via SSH, and in ASDM it is greyed out wherever I can find it.

Any ideas how I can "resurrect" the feature ?

Thank you in advance !

Try to create a new profile and see if its greyed out as well. I don't
think this is related to multicontext.

This setting is usually in group policy, but I still created a new profile, which generated a new group policy, and the store password option is not there.

I also did some investigations in the CLI, and the command is not available, and is not present in the DfltGrpPolicy

FW/admin(config-group-policy)# password-storage enable
                                                     ^

FW/admin(config-group-policy)# password-storage ?
ERROR: % Unrecognized command

So it seems like this command is not available at all ?

Here is version info, which would be helpful I guess

After switching back to single context the "password-storage enable" command is back in the group-policy and works as expected. Maybe I am missing something, but this setup is ok for me, so I will stick to single context and Active/Standby HA setup.
