Last Modified: Feb 06, 2026

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

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-A 1.8.0, F5OS-A 1.8.1, F5OS-A 1.8.2, F5OS-A 1.8.3, F5OS-C 1.8.0, F5OS-C 1.8.1, F5OS-C 1.8.2

Opened: Mar 31, 2025

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

LDAP queries performed by authentication-manager and user-manager do not respect some of the LDAP configuration, in particular chase-referrals and connection and bind timeouts. LDAP queries take an extensive period of time. This can result in user-manager losing its connection to confd, resulting in the problems described in https://cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID1858617.html

Impact

Remotely-authenticated users will not work. Further problems may occur as described in https://cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID1858617.html

Conditions

- LDAP system authentication - authentication-manager trying to query the directory, which will occur if active_directory is enabled and unix_attributes is disabled. - user-manager trying to query the directory, which will occur if an LDAP group mapping is defined for a user role.
