error creating a user

hi, after copying a configuration between 2 VCMPs (in different sites), I had to modify the SCF file (removing an admin account) before importing the configuration into the target site. After the import, I am not able to create the admin account I've deleted before. I am getting the following error:

 

create myadmin password xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx There were warnings: WARNING! Role no-access will lockout the user myadmin

 

010719a2:3: PostgreSQL database error: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "auth_user_pkey" DETAIL: Key (name)=(myadmin) already exists.

 

if I try to delete the account, I get the following error: (tmos) delete auth user myadmin 01020036:3: The requested user (myadmin) was not found.

 

any idea how to fix this?

 

thanks.

    You have removed admin account through SCF file but admin folder might be there in F5 local drive. Check through cli 

    ls -l /home

    I guess you need to remove admin folder from here & try. if still issue raise concern with F5 support.

    Hello,

     

    I had the same problem and by rebooting the box (just one of the two) I had the problem solved.

     

    Don't ask me why! :)
