Can you unlock a local user account via TMSH?

Hi all, I am trying to use TMSH to automate the unlocking of an individual user's account. The account may get locked due to the maximum password failures count being reached.

 

The manual below explains how to unlock a locked account via the GUI which works fine. However I need to do it via command line but cannot find a suitable tmsh command. Any ideas please?

 

Manual Chapter: Local User Account Management

 

Many thanks!

 

Dave.

  • Hi Dave,

    it should be possible, I found on bigip tmsh reference guide this command:

    tmsh reset-stats auth login-failures joe

    Resets the failed login counter for the user joe to zero and unlocks the user joe.
