AD Authentication and Local DB Authentication in APM

Hello,

I've been practicing LAB for APM lately.
Here is my structure.

I found that I can successfully log in with my AD account without any problems!
However, when I try to log in using a local database account, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...

I'm not sure if I'm having problems with my schema.


Any Help is appreciate.

    Hi SanYang 

    Indeed, the AD retries 3 times before falling back to localDB.

    You can control this behaviour by simply modifiying Max Logon Attempts to allow just one attempt

    Let me know if it works

    Hello,

    Can you tell me what is the ending related to unsuccessful LocalDb auth ?

    As there may be multiple reasons for authentication issues, can you share AD Auth and LocalDB auth agents details ?

     

    Regards

      Hi yakai ,

      Thanks for your reply.
      Here is my AD Auth and LocalDB auth Setting

       

      When I login with local DB account, it fails.

      I realized that F5 didn't go through the Local DB authentication process after it thought my AD authentication failed...
