NimbostratusHow can I verify Remote Role Groups via TACACS+ auth
Hello. My F5 v11.4 and 11.3 devices have tacacs authentication to AD for admin access to gui and terminal. We do however create F5 local users for this to work. So use my MS AD user name and password...
So here are the specifics of the configuration we are using:
Cisco ACS 5.3 as our TACACS server Under Policy Elements -> Authorization and Permissions -> Device Administration -> Shell Profiles, we defined multiple profiles depending on the level of authorization for the remote users. I'll detail our administrator role, but the other roles can be built accordingly.
Under the Custom Attributes tab of the shell profile for the administrator role, our attribute is 'F5-LTM-User-Info-1', with a value of 'adm'. You then apply this shell profile to the ACS group that you want to be able to have administrator access to the BIG-IP.
Our corresponding remote role config in the BIG-IP looks like this:
/Common/F5_Administrator { attribute F5-LTM-User-Info-1=adm console tmsh line-order 1 role administrator user-partition all }All of the AD specific user and group information should stay between the TACACS server and AD.

NoctilucentCan you point the BIG-IP to your TACACS server instead and use that kind of authentication/authorization? We have remote role working with TACACS without issue, so I can assist further with that setup.

NimbostratusHi Cory. I believe the F5 is configured for our tacacs servers.
