Creating local users when using Remote Authentication
Hi Willy,
- Enable "Fallback to Local" (System » Users » Authentication)
- Create a user (System » Users » User List)
- Run the below command:
echo "username" >> /config/bigip/auth/localusers
sed -ri 's/(localonlyusers LT_STRING_LIST.*)"/\1 \\{username\\}"/' /etc/confpp.dat
Hi Stefan,
The file /config/bigip/auth/localusers is auto-generated and should not be manually edited. After a system reboot it is expected that this configuration will be lost.
You can workaround this, to allow local and remote users to work at all times, by creating a startup script to add the local users to /config/bigip/auth/localusers on every reboot. However, this is not officially developed or supported by F5.

Per K34350074, BIG-IP sends a "priming" request to each address in the list by randomly selecting an IP address from Root Hints. IF there are 6 addresses in the list, BIG-IP queries each address and then updates the cache with current root server information.
