F5 APM Use of $Groups AD Group Resource Assign

Hello,

we've try to use AD Groups for Resource Assignment. This works fine. But now we tried to use a AD group with a dollar sign in front (e.g. $test). There appears the following error:

 

Rule evaluation failed with error: can't read "test": no such variable

 

I think it is because of the dollar sign. Is there any option to get this working?

      Hi,

      how can I change this? Because when I use the AD Group Resource Assign I can only choose the AD Groups that the F5 gets from AD. I can't edit the entries only tick them.

        you could have a look at the advance resource assign, there you can just enter the groups yourself.

  • probably already crossed your mind, but is it possible to rename the AD group on the AD side?

      Yes, but we are using the groups in a lot of mapping scripts.

      I created a new group for my case without any special characters and it works fine.
