Hi @Ashu_Chahal , How did you mount the policy file into the image? We have a guide that uses PersistentClaimVolume to achieve that: [Install NGINX Ingress Controller and F5 WAF for NGINX with Docker and Helm | NGINX Documentation](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-ingress-controller/installation/installing-nic/deploy-with-nap-using-helm/#create-the-persistent-volume-and-claim-to-store-the-policy-bundle) ---

Hi, Apologies for the absence. That sounds a bit more complicated. If you could get in touch with commercial support, you’ll be able to upload configuration files that you’re using. That way we can diagnose and reproduce the issues and find the exact reason this is failing for you. ---
