AD authentication with LDAPS
Is it possible to create a layered Virtual Server to intercept the LDAP request towards the AD DC's and use LDAPS for the connection? We need to have LDAPS (TCP-636) for the AD auth instead of the default LDAP (TCP-389) as an upcoming Microsoft patch will disable simple/unsigned AD queries. We can't use LDAP Authentication as we need the PW reset option that comes with the AD auth/query. Anyone found a workaround for this?Solved1.4KViews1like14CommentsF5-LTM active directory and http/s
Looking to utilize LTM to handle traffic within a domain that wasn't configured following best practices. Currently, the active directory domain and the primary website share the same domain name. Clients have historically reached the website via a "www" cname but this cname needs to be removed for SEO purposes. The cname was removed from external DNS for clients connecting via the WAN. I would like to duplicate this behavior for LAN clients without placing a reverse proxy web server on the domain controllers and need an option that will perform more reliably than adding a netsh portproxy rule to handle port 80 and 443 traffic. How can I configure the LTM so that active directory LAN client traffic destined for "ourdomainname.com" reaches our active directory servers and LAN client traffic via ports 80 and 443 destined for "ourdomainname.com" is directed to the web servers IP address?Solved819Views1like3CommentsF5 APM retrieve AD groups and resend using HTTP POST parameter
Dear all, I am looking at a particular situation where an internal web server needs to know what kind of AD membership groups are assigned to a user that tries to login. The authentication only takes place on the F5 APM and NOT on the internal server. The internal server only needs to verify AD group membership, but may not communicate to AD. The idea is to: Create a login page using APM authenticate using username and password to AD Retrieve the AD group membership Include a POST parameter with these AD group membership information and send it to the internal webserver Somebody already had a similar situation before?Solved807Views0likes14CommentsF5 LB Active Directory issue
Hi everyone From this article: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/33547.load-balancers-and-active-directory.aspx It's said that Load balancer normally can't Load balance Active directory properly. Is this true? I just found F5 ldap deployment guide but not sure if it's can work properly. Thank you663Views0likes2CommentsUnable to import AD Groups
hey everyone! we are having problems with importing the AD groups. It displays error "unable to import groups". we are able to have the authentication verified. we can query successfully to the AD. we used a service account in creating the AD. is this a factor why we cant import the groups? also, there is an error displaying " AccessPolicyProcessor/MasterKeyMgr.cpp func: "resetMasterKey()" line: 142 Msg: new Master Key has been updated" what does this error mean? this error displays when we try to update the AD groups using the GUI643Views0likes2CommentsiRules LX for APM password reset
We are attempting to use APM as a Self-Service Password Reset resolution. I can modify Active Directory attributes than to this article https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/apm-cookbook-modify-ldap-attribute-values-using-iruleslx-21850 , however, has anyone used iRules LX to reset a password. I'll validate the user first with other methods but want to reset a forgotten password rather than the APM built-in Kerberos API reset with the current password to update to a new one.

Hi, i got a request today to display an errormessage if the password change for an AD account failed. I thougt this would be default, but somehow there is no info/message shown, just the two texfields for the new password and the verification are cleared. In the apm-log shows up a message "AD module: change password for 'asdf' failed: Password change rejected(4), result_string: (4)" How can i display an info like "sorry, your password couldnt be changed because it is to short/weak, please use at least 512 characters, a primenumber and the blood from an virgin goat" Best regard499Views0likes1CommentAPM - Using AD as AAA server

Hi I've problem about LDAP server send RST+ACK after F5 send FIN+ACK to LDAP server. Is this expect behavior? because if i connect ldap server directly, LDAP server will send FIN normally (no RST+ACK like when connect via F5 virtual server) as below picture IP (.18.12) is LDAP server send RST+ACK after it got FIN+ACK from F5 IP (.18.85) is F5 float IP ... we do snat automap IP (.18.91) is F5 LDAP virtual server Thank you350Views0likes2CommentsBIG-IP Edge VPN Client
Hi All, Our organisation recently moved from CISCO VPN solutions to one that is provided by F5. In the past we have manually installed our CISCO client however we are moving towards automation. I have read the following KBs which have helped me extract the MSI installer from the EXE. https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13710 The issue I am facing is that I am unable to create an administrative install using: msiexec /a d:\F5\f5fpclients.msi with an error message of: This comes after entering the company name, when prompted. This is doing my head in and any guidance from you all who have done this in the past will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Al.349Views0likes2Comments
