APM reading user attributes from local database
Hello, Any clue to read the email address of a user created on local database as this email address is required to send the OTP to it, I know that there are ready template and the user can enter his email address on the login page, but we need the OTP to be sent to the email address of the user who try to login it it is easy if the user is created on AD right? so we can query the AD for that attribue but when can be done if the user on local database?

Big IQ High Availability Configuration Fails
I have two Big IQ Virtual Machines built from the Big IQ 7.1.0.1-133 software. There are no firewalls between the two, but they do reside on two separate VM hosts. When I configure the High Availability with no auto failover (no DCDs deployed yet), the process hangs at "Configuring Database Replication" for a long time but it will eventually say the process is complete. At that point, the VM that should be the primary says it is still in Standalone mode and the VM that is secondary has the configuration replicated but the web GUI doesn't come up. The reason I know the configuration is replicated, is because when I reboot the hosts and check the High Availability settings, the primary says it is in a failed High Availability state and the secondary is in a successful state. there is also an error on the primary stating "Secondary is not actively streaming. Postgres may be down.". I checked the logs for Postgres and Tokumonx and I'm seeing fatal errors. Specifically, that the role "root" doesn't exist. My question: where else should I be looking to troubleshoot this issue? Has anyone run into this issue and just know the answer? Thank you
