Hi Everyone,Am wating to implement radius auth of our BIG-IP administrators (GUI and SSH), radius is a supported auth method so we would like to use the Microsoft NPS services.Has anyone successfully implemented GUI / SSH authentication of BIG-IP Administrators via radius to Microsoft NPS?Would be great to hear of your learnings and any advice you can provide.TIA (currently running v16.1.3.1)

Hi&nbsp;CA_Valli, thanks for the article.&nbsp; I am not convinced the BigIP and MS NPS will play nicely together.Anyone succeeding in implementing this?

Hi KristiD21,Yes, this is what I want to do.&nbsp; Authenticate users with AD defined accounts via Radius to a MS NPS service.&nbsp;Would be ideal to have various roles available (eg. admins, auditors etc).&nbsp;Would be able to enable MFA via MS Authenticator for all our logins to our F5 devices.Has anyone achieved this yet?
