rSeries and Active Directory authentication

[JSP]

Hello
Im trying to configure Active Directory authentication with rSeries 4800

Tried to follow this guide:
https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/f5os-a-1-0-0/f5-rseries-systems-administration-configuration/title-use...

I configured all but this: "Assign users to valid system group IDs on the external LDAP or Active Directory servers. For more information, see the Group IDs and system authentication roles section."

I have no idea how to assign the F5 group ID (f.e. Rolename Admin with GID 9000) in Active Directory and it is not explained in the documentation.
Without doing it the authentication its not working so Im assuming this setting could be the reason.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi

Thanks for your reply, but that is for BIGIP itself, not for the rseries access

I've just sent this thread to some colleagues to try to get you an answer.

Hi, 

I have been looking for the same integration, and I found this link https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000135805

Maybe you need to add attributes on your LDAP server, and put them in the users.

Regards.

Hi

Yes, but in active directory the only way i think that attributes can be added would be by changing the domain schema.
I think that would be a big change for a simple feature like this (that in fact its not needed to integrate APM or BIGIP web console).
