User account issue

Hello all,

 

 

I was trying to find out which role should I apply to a certain user, when I started having troubles with the user account itself, and now I am unable to modify or delete it:

 

 

bp>shell write partition Common

 

bp>user adm_test delete

 

BIGpipe user deletion error:

 

01070826:3: Current Update Partition Error: The current update partition (Common) does not match the object's partition (Transit1) (user) (adm_test)

 

bp>shell write partition Transit1

 

bp>user adm_test delete

 

BIGpipe user deletion error:

 

01070826:3: Current Update Partition Error: The current update partition (Transit1) does not match the object's partition (Common) (unknown) (adm_test)

 

 

I have also a TACACS configured and working and this account matches a TACACS account. I cant find a way to change an objects partition nor can find the way to delete such an account, has anybody else faced a similar problem before?

 

 

BR,

 

 

Pablo

   group 500
   home "/home/adm_test"
   shell "/usr/bin/tmsh"
   partition Transit1
   role administrator in all
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  b shell partition

    Thank you very much for the tip, nitass,

     

     

    Maybe the problem is due to the lack of partition assignment on the user definition?

     

     

    bp>user adm_test list

     

    user adm_test {

     

    password crypt "!!"

     

    description "adm_test"

     

    group 500

     

    home "/home/adm_test"

     

    shell "/usr/bin/bpsh"

     

    role app editor in all

     

    }

     

     

    I've tried to change the partition but I get the same error than when I try to delete it.

     

     

    BTW, it is running on 10.2.4 so it should not be a problem then.

    bp>user adm_test list

     

    user adm_test {

     

    password crypt "!!"

     

    description "adm_test"

     

    group 500

     

    home "/home/adm_test"

     

    shell "/usr/bin/bpsh"

     

    role app editor in all

     

    } what partition were you in (when listing)? was it common or Transit1?

    Hello,

     

     

    Actually it doesn't appear when reading any of the partitions, only when reading on all:

     

     

     

    bp>shell read partition Common

     

    bp>user adm_test list

     

    user adm_test {

     

    role app editor in all

     

    }

     

    bp>shell read partition Transit1

     

    bp>user adm_test list

     

    BIGpipe parsing error:

     

    01020036:3: The requested user (adm_test) was not found.

     

    bp>shell read partition Transit2

     

    bp>user adm_test list

     

    BIGpipe parsing error:

     

    01020036:3: The requested user (adm_test) was not found.

     

    bp>shell read partition Transit3

     

    bp>user adm_test list

     

    BIGpipe parsing error:

     

    01020036:3: The requested user (adm_test) was not found.

     

    bp>shell read partition all

     

    bp>user adm_test list

     

    user adm_test {

     

    password crypt "!!"

     

    description "adm_test"

     

    group 500

     

    home "/home/adm_test"

     

    shell "/usr/bin/bpsh"

     

    role app editor in all

     

    }

     

     

    There is only those three partitions:

     

     

    bp>partition show

     

    PARTITION Common

     

    PARTITION Transit1

     

    PARTITION Transit2

     

    PARTITION Transit3

     

     

    Thanks, and best regards,

     

     

    Pablo

    it seems okay here. anyway, have you checked configuration file directly (i.e. /config/bigip_sys.conf)? is it consistent with bigpipe command output? 

    bp>shell read partition all
bp>user adm_test list
user adm_test {
   password crypt "$1$hLPRyheN$ncVt8aojDzo1T42IHppB.."
   description "adm_test"
   group 500
   home "/home/adm_test"
   shell "/usr/bin/bpsh"
   role app editor in all
}
bp>user adm_test delete
bp>user adm_test list
