Remote User Authentication (e.g. F5 admins) using Azure Active Directory

[shadow82]

Hi!

Is there an option to integrate F5 to authenticate F5 admins, auditors, etc. with Azure Active Direcoty?

We need to have UserDB taken from there

This is the only article I found - but it talks about AD, not AAD

https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-implementations-12-1-0/28....

Configure Microsoft AD DS:

 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/auth-ldap

This exposes classic LDAP access and use as normal with the current F5 function capabilities.

ok. and classic AD to AAD is also possible?

If yes, then which would be simpler to implement?

If you configure Microsoft AD DS then you can use LDAP calls to Microsoft AAD. LDAP has always been supported by F5 Networks for admin auth. So you would use that as normal. HOWEVER, you need to configure Microsoft AD DS.

Thanks a lot!
I'll go this way then
