Need help to configure BIGIP LTM to use MS Active Directory for authenticating BIGIP system user accounts for MGMT Interface
Hi, I am doing one BIGIP LTM Virtual Edition 10.1 ( 90 days trial) setup in our lab to test the appliance. In this process I was trying to configure the appliance to use Microsoft 2008 Active Directory server for authenticating system user accounts, that is, traffic that passes through the management interface (MGMT). Kindly note that this bos don't have APM installed. I use the following procedure to configure the AD authentication -
1.system->users->authentication 2.Select 'Remote-Active Directory'. 3.Give IP address of the AD server in the Host field. 4.use the default port 389, as we have not changed the default port. 5.Give the Remote Directory Tree details --> dc=domain_name,dc=com 6.Scope --> Sub 7.In the bind setting specify the DN --> accountname and the relevant password and confirm the same. 8. No user template. 9. SSL disabled as we did not use and SSL for the AD server. Now this setup is not working. The appliance does not pull AD account information. I am not sure if I have missed some thing in this configuration. I desperately need help to fix this setup as I need to complete the setup at the earliest possible.Kindly let me know if you need any more information from my side.
Thanks
