In prior releases, the group ID number representing authentication roles was hard-coded to certain values. This could cause problems since an external authentication system (for example, LDAP) may have conflicting group IDs.
This could cause difficulty configuring a user with specific role assignments in an external authentication system.
External authentication system (e.g. LDAP, AD, or radius) where a group ID number conflicts with the hard-coded role IDs (for example, 9000).
Reconfigure group IDs in external system such that the hard-coded group ID numbers match the role numbers required by the F5 system.
Added configuration to allow the administrator to specify the group ID number in use by the external system to identify user roles. The external number will be mapped to the F5 role based on this setting.
