RADIUS Auth

Hi, I have followed the guide on remote user auth but I have an issue, the users with administrator role can login just fine, but none of the others can (guest and auditor)

 

In the F5 external users group I have this:

Attr string: F5-LTM-User-Info-1=mgmt
Assigned Role: %F5-LTM-User-Role
Partition access: %F5-LTM-User-Partition
terminal access: %F5-LTM-User-Shell 

 

In RADIUS  we have this for admins

match user group "F5-Admin"

0,all,enable,tmsh,mgmt

and this for guests:

match user group "F5-Guest"
700,all,enable,disable,mgmt

 

When a guest logs in it just says failed login attempt. I tried creating a second external users group called guests and looked for "Attr string: F5-LTM-User-Role=Guest" which also did not work and have now removed.

 

Any ideas on where I am going wrong? I ran radius debugging but it did not show anything useful.

  • Does your radius debugging show that the user is authenticating to the RADIUS server?

      yes it does seem so, this is the log:

       pam_radius_auth: pam_radius_auth: user <username> not authenticated

  • I think radius side is wrong, does this look correct? Admin is exactly the same but with 0 instead of 700.
