local user password fields don't display

Attempting to create local guest user but the password fields don't display. All devices on 12.1.2 HF2 have this issue. All devices on 13.x and above don't.

  • Do you mean the fields don't display in the user creation screen or the content of the field doesn't show on input?

     

  • Hi,

     

    If the password don't display that's means you use remote user directory "System ›› Users : Authentication".

     

    the password that you use is that of the AD or LDAP or Radius ...

     

    When you configure an external authentification (ad, ldap, radius, ...), you can in fact create user but you can't set password because the password is embeded in an external directory.

     

    So check the directory set in your F5: "System ›› Users : Authentication".

    Keep me in touch.

     

    regards

     

  • Doesn't display in the user creation screen. There is User Name then Partition Access.
