Issue

In RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle, an application restart resets the Aveksa Application request workflows to the Out-of-the-box (OOTB) workflows if (Use default) is selected for the workflow definitions.

The following example explains this in more detail.

1. In the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle user interface, go to Resources >  Applications > Aveksa > Requests tab and scroll down to the Approval and Fulfillment sections. Note the default OOTB approval workflow is Asset Business Owner Approval and the default OOTB Fulfillment workflow is Security Fulfillment Handler.
