Creating local users when using Remote Authentication

Hi F5'ers,   I'd like to provision (some) local users even though Remote Authentication (using Radius) is provisioned.   F5 removed f5adduser (in 10.1.0), so, what's the sanctioned alternative? ...

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

That is the behavior of the box. Please refer the article K11333640.

To overcome this, you'll have to create a startup script. Which would be on /config/startup.

 

Did you put the entries there & yet you see this issue ?

Also note this is pretty 10 year old thread, please open a new thread so it could be addressed properly.
