Hi,

 

Ok sorry, maybe impacted user trigged "Password policy", you can set an Expiration Warning, you can specifies the number of days prior to password expiration that the system sends a warning message to a user.

 

Can you check using this procedure:

System -> Users -> Authentication

Under password policy locate secure password enforcement setting and set it to meet your needs.

 

But you can confirm that GUI auth is in local or trough an AD?

User impacted is in local or they used AD, Because now you can fallback in local for authentication... If ad failled to find user.

    Hi Youssef,

     

    The user that raised the issue doesn't have a local account, so I wouldn't think it would be subject to a password policy on the F5. On that note, I don't have a password policy option under the authentication tab. Also, it's probably worth mentioning that local accounts we have use our Active Directory credentials.

     

    Thanks!
