something very simple - f5adduser

I am trying to add user through CLI. I could use following command to add a new user with read only access, but I can't figure out command to use if I need to add user with read only (GUI) access for LDAP configured box.

 

 

f5adduser -r 700 -S testpwd test_account

  • I thank you very much. This article doesn't address question about how to add user's in an LDAP environemnt. I will continue to look around.
  • Which LTM version are you running? For 9.4.x+, you should be able to get more info by checking 'b user help' and 'b remote users help':

     

     

     

    NAME

     

    remote users - Configures the default role, partition access, and con-

     

    sole access for all remotely authenticated user accounts that have not

     

    been added as local user accounts on the BIG-IP system.

     

     

    Note: To assign a different access to a specific remote user, you must

     

    create a local user account for that user. See the user command man

     

    page for more information.

     

    ...
