getitng out of tmsh mode when using ldap access

If you are on v11 it would seem Advanced Shell access isn't possible for externally authenticated users. You can of course still use a local Administrator account.

If you run !bash and you have console access you can get to a bash prompt using remote auth.

 

 

You can also hack this a bit and add an entry to /etc/passwd for remote users to have them logged in with a bash shell by default. This isn't supported but should work.

 

 

my_remote_user:x:0:0:my_remote_user:/home/my_remote_user:/bin/bash

 

 

There's an open request for enhancement to support bash as a terminal option for remotely authenticated users:

 

Bug 358740 - RFE Allow bash as a shell option for remote users

 

 

You can open a case with F5 Support to request this RFE be built.

Thanks Aaron, i put in the above entry as it is in the /etc/passwd file. It still takes me to tmsh prompt....

the fix to this is by running "run /util bash" in tmsh. Thanks to TAC...

i am getting below error when trying to get the logs of device. Please advise.
