Conditions

1) Create a RADIUS user without F5-F5OS-UID configured 2) Logged in as the RADIUS user through WebUI

Workaround

To avoid encountering this problem, the F5-F5OS-UID should be provided. Additionally, the UID for every user (which spans across all remote users as well as local users) should be unique (or have the same GID).
