When a RADIUS user is configured without F5-F5OS-UID and then logged in through the WebUI, they will be disconnected after 10 minutes. This problem has also been observed with other remote authentication methods where the UID and GID are configured.
If logged in as the RADIUS user through the WebUI, they will be disconnected after 10 minutes. This problem has also been observed with other remote authentication methods where the UID and GID are configured.
1) Create a RADIUS user without F5-F5OS-UID configured 2) Logged in as the RADIUS user through WebUI
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).
UID is not defaulting to 1001 for RADIUS and TACACS+ users anymore. UID is assigned from the range 40,000 - 65,000 for remote users.
