Bug ID 1233093: Able to create RADIUS server without "secret" option on the CLI

Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS, Velos(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-A 1.4.0

Opened: Feb 02, 2023

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

From the CLI, a user is able to create a new RADIUS server without configuring the "secret" option. This is a mandatory parameter; without it, the server will not work.

Impact

The RADIUS server will not work correctly.

Conditions

A user creates a new RADIUS server group but does not configure the "secret" option. appliance-1(config)# system aaa server-groups server-group radius-example config name radius-example type RADIUS appliance-1(config-server-group-radius-example)# servers server 1.2.3.4 config address 1.2.3.4 appliance-1(config-server-1.2.3.4)# commit Commit complete.

Workaround

If the RADIUS server is missing the "secret" option, a user can manually configure it from the CLI, even after it is created. appliance-1(config-server-1.2.3.4)# radius config secret-key (<AES encrypted string>): **** appliance-1(config-server-1.2.3.4)# commit Commit complete.

Fix Information

None
