Configuring remote authentication fallback on BIG-IP systems does still not work!
Hi all,
According to https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K67025432 local user authentication should work even when remote server (in my example Windows AD) is still reachable (fallback option enabled). See 2nd bullet point from the article below:
You should consider using this procedure when your BIG-IP system is configured for remote authentication for BIG-IP system users.
- You want a local users to be able to access the BIG-IP system when the remote authentication server is unavailable.
- You want a local users to be able to access to the BIG-IP system when the users are locally configured on the BIG-IP and are not configured on the remote authentication server.
- You want local or remote users to access to the BIG-IP system through SSH using SSH public key authentication.
After enabling the fallback option in remote authentication settings (yes I'm using BIG-IP version 16.1.3.x already) I'm still not able to login with local user (in my case a readonly user)!
In our situation we need to give some local users readonly access to the BIGIP system. Unfortunately having those users in the same external userdirectory is currently not an viable option. For me it seems that this 2nd bullet point isn't realy correct!
Is anyboday aware of an other solution or workaround at least?
Thanks & Regards
