[7.900][BUG][FIXED] problems with webadmin when using my AD account to login

I'm only getting a popup message 'Can't use string ("0") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /wfe/asg/modules /asg_dashboard.pm line 3374.' when I click on Management/Definitions/IM/P2P or Remote Access from the webadmin's dashboard. The same happens when clicking on Network/Network Security/Web Security or Mail Security but here with line 3227 and on Logging with line 1471. And last but not least in Management->Web Admin Settings->User Preferences but here with /asg_webadmin.pm line 48.
This error only occurs if I connect to the webadmin using my AD account. It's fine using the generic admin account or using radius.
To reproduce: Just add an AD group to the Allowed Administrators and login as a member of this group.

What functional level is your forest and domain at?

The reason I ask is that there is a known issue with AD authentication if at the W2K8R2 level. If this is the case, the fix is to specify your domain controllers by FQDN to force authentication to use Kerberos instead of NTLM. You can read about this and other known problems in the sticky post by KBR called "Beta Contest & V8 Automatic Known Issues List".

I'm not a windows expert (more network ...) and I've already read about the problems with W2K8R2 but we have here only W2K3 servers (the move to W2K8 is planned for later on this year) and everything else (SSO etc.) is working fine in this environment.
The last prob I've pointed to (webadmin user preferences) seems to be an old one: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/98/t/68246
It is marked as fixed but I'm getting this error still on my production box (7.504).

Cheers,
Michael

However, I like Astaro's ASG and the way they distribute their product (free home licenses and the beta test)!

Please use an existing user object or enable automatic user creation for WebAdmin logins.

The problem here is that you can login without a user object (e.g. from a backend group), but, as you do not have a user object, WebAdmin cannot read the users preferences.
This will most likely be fixed in the next beta.
