Sep 21, 2022Managing Local users on this device is not allowed. Please use the APM active device
I get this message in this menu: Access ›› Authentication : Local User DB : Instances The "Create new instance" button is grey. I am on an active standalone device though... APM version 15.1.6...

Sep 21, 2022No it has always been standalone. I managed to create a database with a TMSH command, but not a user 😕

Sep 21, 2022So interestingly enough, after testing a few things I ended up the same error message. But I was able to clear it with a reboot.
FWIW, the CLI syntax for create a localdb user is this:
ldbutil --add --uname="bob" --password="pass" \
--instance="/Common/my_test_db" \
--user_groups="" \
--login_failures="0" \
--change_passwd="0" \
--locked_out="0" \
--first_name="" \
--last_name="" \

I get the same error message after a reboot. And when I try to type the command I get this message:
