Modify Configuration Utility Authentication Method From Terminal

I tried to configure one of my test appliances to use ClientCert LDAP but was unsuccessful. Now I can’t access the configuration utility but I can still access the Bash and TMSH shells. I tried modifying auth source from TMSH but it didn’t affect the web interface. It looks like I need to modify one of the PAM configuration files but I’m unsure which one.

 

Does anyone has the procedure to modify the configuration utility authentication method?

    Hi Jason,

    use the following TMSH command to change the auth back to local mode...

    [user@hostname:Active:Standalone] ~  tmsh modify auth source type local

    Cheers, Kai
