using Radius for tmsh / terminal access

I've setup Radius for LTM 11.6. It seems to work great but I've having issue accessing the CLI using my radius account. Only account I can access via CLI is using root. I want to use something else that produces an audit trail instead of sharing the root account.

  • To access CLI (bash or tmsh) you must enable it in the "Terminal Access" properties for your users.

     

    Bash = "Advance shell".

     

    The possible value you can set depends on the user role too.

     

  • tmsh is enabled, that's the first thing I checked. Is there a special syntax to use with radius when login into the CLI?

    enabling tmsh/advanced shell should be all you need to do. what user-role did you grant the RADIUS-authenticated users?

    check out the /var/log/secure log-file to see if a remote-auth action is being initiated when you try to login to CLI with your RADIUS credentials

     

  • This is what i'm getting...

     

    sshd(pam_audit): User=xxx tty=ssh host=146.36.209.52 failed to login after 1 attempts (start="Mon Jan 12 13:51:37 2015" end="Mon Jan 12 13:51:47 2015").:

     

  • I hava the same problem. In v11.6 HF6, It is impossible to assign bash profile to a remote role group. Only tmsh is displayed even if 'remote access' is enabled. It looks like a bug from this version?

      i found a work around. Once you're in tmsh shell, you can just type the word "bash" and the admin will be the bash shell. Hope that helps...
