Login to the partition with external authentication

Hello,

 

I have created a new partition in my F5 LTM. Is there any way an user can directly login to that partition when accessing GUI/CLI. The user is authenticating with a Cisco ACS server using TACACS.

 

For example IP address x.x.x.x should login user to common partition and y.y.y.y to partition 'test'.

 

  • Hi, I don't know is the case, so did you try to add this user into the BIG-IP user list or set a "Remote Role Group" for that? Even a remotely authenticated user can be added into the BIG-IP user list to define role and partition access. In case users can access multiple role/partitions, I think the system do alphabeticaly sort before direct to the prompt.

     

    I hope it helps.

     

  • In you web configuration of f5, go to System -> Users -> Authentication.

     

    There you specify TACACS for authentication.

     

    Users rights can be managed in the same section based on your needs.
