Bug ID 1627257: F5OS does not support mapping multiple LDAP groups to a single F5OS role (many-to-one LDAP group mapping)

Last Modified: Jul 15, 2026

Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS, F5OS-A, F5OS-C(all modules)

Fixed In:
F5OS v2.0.0

Opened: Aug 13, 2024

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

There is no way to map multiple LDAP groups to a single F5OS role in older releases(eg: system aaa authentication roles role admin config ldap-group |(CN=netops)(CN=f5ops) )

Impact

Have multiple AD groups that should grant the same F5OS administrative role (e.g., a network ops team and an F5 ops team both needing admin access).

Conditions

The ldap-group field under system aaa authentication roles supports only a single group value per role - there is no native OR/multi-group syntax.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Support for many-to-one LDAP group-to-role mappings was added in F5OS v2.0.0. The fix allows multiple LDAP groups to map to a single F5OS role, so that users who belong to any configured group will be granted the appropriate role upon login.
