Remotely-authenticated users logging into BIG-IP through the serial console are immediately logged out after entering their username and password. Logging in as the same user over SSH is successful.
Remotely-authenticated users cannot log in over the serial console.
Attempting to log in over serial console when using remote authentication (RADIUS, TACACS, LDAP) and role mapping configured on the BIG-IP system.
You can work around this issue by using one of the following alternative processes: -- Log in over SSH instead -- If acceptable (taking into account security considerations), enable terminal access for all remote users regardless of assigned role, using the command: 'tmsh modify auth remote-user remote-console-access tmsh' or or from the UI.
Remotely-authenticated users are now able to successfully log in to BIG-IP through the serial console.
