BIGIP 9.0 - Root vs. Other Accounts

Hi Tom,

 

 

The default behavior is to deny everyone unless they're authenticated, except for local connections. So you don't have to explicitly add any IP address to allow someone to access, since if they're not explicitly specified, they will just be authenticated, and if authenticated successfully, they'll be allowed access. There's a little difference in how the configuration sections for iControl and TMUI might look, but that's just a special case for local connections.

 

 

With that being said, you don't even have to add him to the /tmui section since by default that directory will allow access to everyone who's authenticated.

 

 

So in short, the user you mentioned was not smoking crack. :-)
