APM Local DB multiple groups
Hi, I'm using APM with localdb authentication and performing a group lookup and resource assign ACLs based on the localdb group. It works well with one group and one set of ACLs per group. But what if I want a user to have ACLs from more than one group? do I assign multiple groups to the user? I've sort of tried this but it did not work. Only ACL from one group are applied. Is this sort of functionality supported or is the group field in localdb meant for only one group?Shared Authentication Domains on BIG-IP APM
How to share an APM session across multiple access profiles. A common question for someone new to BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) is how do I configure BIG-IP APM so the user only logs in once. By default, BIG-IP APM requires authentication for each access profile. This can easily be changed by sending the domain cookie variable is the access profile’s SSO authentication domain menu. Let’s walk through how to configure App1 and App2 to only require authentication once. We’ll start with App1’s Access Profile. Once you click through to App1’s settings, in the Top menu, select SSO/Auth Domains. For the Domain Cookie, we’ll set the value to f5demo.com since App1 and App2 use this domain and it is a FQDN. Of course, click Update. Next, we’ll select App2’s Access Profile. Like App1, we select SSO/Auth Domains and set the Domain Cookie value to f5demo.com. To make sure it works, we’ll launch App1 in our browser. We’re prompted for authentication and enter our credentials and luckily, we have a successful login. And then we’ll try to login to App2. And when we click it, we’re not prompted again for authentication information and gain access without prompts. Granted this was a single login request for two simple applications but it can be scaled for hundreds of applications. If you‘d like to see a working demo of this, check it out here. ps

DUO Security Proxy servers in HA configuration
Has anyone setup HA for the DUO Proxy servers? I don't believe I can use the Radius iApp due to the specific port per DUO application(s)? I can successfully create a radius server with a "direct" server connection association to a single node (DUO Auth Proxy). However, I've been unsuccessful at setting up a HA configuration to include a second DUO Auth Proxy server. I've tried the following manual configurations (both failed): 1. Updated the "direct" server connection to point to a VIP (instead of a node) whereas the VIP was associated to a pool of DUO Auth Proxy servers. Failed (no response from server) 2. Created a new radius server referencing the pool of DUO Auth Proxy servers (not direct server connection). Essentially removing the VIP. Same error as above. *** The pool I used has Priority Grouping to prioritize its local site DUO Auth Proxy server unless its unavailable, then do to the other datacenter for DUO Auth Proxy. I have not setup a persistence profile due to the priority grouping. But, I will try that today. Hoping someone has tried setting up DUO Proxy HA and can provide any helpful insight. Thank you in advance. ~Jeff

AAA for Big-IQ CLI/TMSH Login
Hi, I have tried to use AAA server for authentication and authorization Big-IQ web GUI login. I configured on Big-IQ web GUI and find out that it doesn't work to authenticate user who log in into TMSH/CLI. Is there separate configuration to authenticate user through AAA server for CLI/tmsh? Thank youBIG-IQ 5.2.0 HA Pair, Login Using RADIUS Auth Provider
Hi, We set up Auth Provider for authentication and authorization using RADIUS server. The BIG IQ version is 5.2.0 and in the primary, we can login using account from RADIUS auth provider. Because the BIG-IQ is HA pair, so the configuration from primary is synced to secondary. When we open secondary BIG-IQ, there is RADIUS auth provider selection in login page. But when login using RADIUS server account in secondary BIG-IQ, there is error: What does the error mean? Does anyone can explain to me? Thank you
Custom attribute in AD behaves as if cached in AD AAA
We've added a custom attribute to Active Directory. We've added a process that sets this attribute to an APM policy via a web API. When the user logs in and it is not set (via Active Directory AAA lookup), we set a value. If the user logs out and in again quickly after this, the new session behaves as if the custom attribute is still not set, when it should be set, and if the user waits a few seconds it all works. I believe (I could be wrong, somethings not right) that the F5 and the web API server are using the same Active Directory server, so I don't believe this is a propagation delay in Active Directory between AD servers. We don't see this behaviour with the password attribute. Is there some caching going on here, or some property of the password attribute that avoids caching either in the F5 APM or AD? The Active Directory AAA has a lot of cache properties, but none of them looked relevant from the documentation. Its a minor issue in the scheme of things but when it happens it is confusing for the end user.
