How do you get Big-IQ to work with Active Directory for authentication?

Does anyone know of a link to F5 documentation about how to get Big-IQ to work with Active Directory to authenticate users? I've worked with the LDAP auth setup on Big-IQ, and was able to get as far ...

Had the same issue this morning and figured it out.

 

When using the ldap search the syntax didn't match the boxes listed in the default settings.

 

To resolve it I changed the bind user to just be the username .... no CN= in front of it so it uses the username exactly like the ldapsearch command line.

 

Then I changed the search filter to (sAMAccountName={username}) .... after that it worked :)

 

Let me know if that helps.
