NimbostratusIssue Using Remote LDAP Authentication
I configured BIG-IP to access LDAP users following the official tutorial (http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-11-3-0/31.html) but when it displays the website authentication and entry correct credentials, BIG-IP manages logon credentials with the LDAP server correctly (I checked with pcap capture), but requests credentials again. When I again entered the correct credentials, the process is the same and I can not log on to the page.
You can see the negotiation between the BIG-IP server and the LDAP is correct in this image: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B83010gTagQXRjJaWlk1NUxsVVk/edit?usp=sharing, so I do not know why BIG-IP request credentials every time.
I have used "ldapsearch" command from SSH console to check authentication proccess and I can see conection was success and credentials are correctly (you can see output command in "query_from_ldapsearch2.txt" file I have attached).
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards.

Where BIG-IP stores the auth log? I searched it using "find local0" through SSH but it did not show anything. have you checked /var/log/ltm?
Dear nitass,Yes I did. I have checked in /var/log/ltm but there is nothing here with local.
I tried with valid and invalid credentials
