Hello F5 experts, a few questions: is CLI setting "/auth remote-user" equivalent to the GUI setting "System ›› Users : User List ›› Other External Users"? If "role-info" in "/auth remote-role" is "none" or, some provisioned but none of values in the "attribute" match values retrieved from Remote Access Server, then, are the values (for role, partition, and console access) provisioned in "/auth remote-user" applied to the user attempting authentication/authorisation? R's, Alex

Alex, To your first question, yes, creating a user from the CLI is equivalent to creating them through the GUI. For you second question, I am confused as to what you are asking.

Clarification of "/auth remote-user" and "/auth remote-role"

Hello F5 experts, a few questions:

is CLI setting "/auth remote-user" equivalent to the GUI setting "System ›› Users : User List ›› Other External Users"?
If "role-info" in "/auth remote-role" is "none" or, some provisioned but none of values in the "attribute" match values retrieved from Remote Access Server, then, are the values (for role, partition, and console access) provisioned in "/auth remote-user" applied to the user attempting authentication/authorisation?
