Help troubleshooting AD Auth on F5 LB

Hi All. We're trying to configure AD auth and running into major issues. The strange thing is that telnet succeeds, I've reset and confirmed the bind user's password, and have reset and confirmed the test AD user password. Any help will be much appreciated!

 

successful connection on 389 and 3269 -

 

[admin@lb1:Standby:Changes Pending] log # telnet <AD IP> 3269

Trying <AD IP>...

Connected to <AD IP>.

Escape character is '^]'.

 

[admin@lb1:Standby:Changes Pending] log # telnet <AD IP> 389

Trying <AD IP>...

Connected to <AD IP>.

Escape character is '^]'.

 

 

 

In /var/log/secure, I see -

Hi jharper52,

 

if you are trying AD auth, it uses port 88/Kerberos. I captured this a while back.0691T00000CnVewQAF.png

Additionally, check this out for troubleshooting: K11308: Overview of the adtest tool

And verify DNS and NTP are configured and working.
