bigip_device_auth_ldap – Manage LDAP device authentication settings on BIG-IP
New in version 2.8.
Synopsis
- Manage LDAP device authentication settings on BIG-IP.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| bind_dn string | Specifies the distinguished name for the Active Directory or LDAP server user ID. The BIG-IP client authentication module does not support Active Directory or LDAP servers that do not perform bind referral when authenticating referred accounts. Therefore, if you plan to use Active Directory or LDAP as your authentication source and want to use referred accounts, make sure your servers perform bind referral. | ||
| bind_password string | Specifies a password for the Active Directory or LDAP server user ID. | ||
| ca_cert string | Specifies the name of an SSL certificate from a certificate authority (CA). To remove this value, use the reserved value none.aliases: ssl_ca_cert | ||
| check_member_attr boolean |
| Checks the user's member attribute in the remote LDAP or AD group. | |
| client_cert string | Specifies the name of an SSL client certificate. To remove this value, use the reserved value none.aliases: ssl_client_cert | ||
| client_key string | Specifies the name of an SSL client key. To remove this value, use the reserved value none.aliases: ssl_client_key | ||
| fallback_to_local boolean |
| Specifies that the system uses the Local authentication method if the remote authentication method is not available. | |
| login_ldap_attr string | Specifies the LDAP directory attribute containing the local user name that is associated with the selected directory entry. When configuring LDAP device authentication for the first time, if this parameter is not specified, the default port is samaccountname. | ||
| password string / required | The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD.aliases: pass, pwd | ||
| port integer | Specifies the port that the system uses for access to the remote host server. When configuring LDAP device authentication for the first time, if this parameter is not specified, the default port is 389. | ||
| provider dictionary added in 2.5 | A dict object containing connection details. | ||
| password string / required | The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD.aliases: pass, pwd | ||
| server string / required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER. | ||
| server_port integer | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT. | |
| ssh_keyfile path | Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE. | ||
| timeout integer | Default: 10 | Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. | |
| transport string |
| Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. | |
| user string / required | The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER. | ||
| validate_certs boolean |
| If no, SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_VALIDATE_CERTS. | |
| remote_directory_tree string | Specifies the file location (tree) of the user authentication database on the server. | ||
| scope string |
| Specifies the level of the remote Active Directory or LDAP directory that the system should search for the user authentication. | |
| server string / required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER. | ||
| server_port integer added in 2.2 | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT. | |
| servers list | Specifies the LDAP servers that the system must use to obtain authentication information. You must specify a server when you create an LDAP configuration object. | ||
| ssl string |
| Specifies whether the system uses an SSL port to communicate with the LDAP server. | |
| state string |
| When present, ensures the device authentication method exists.When absent, ensures the device authentication method does not exist. | |
| update_password string |
| always will always update the bind_password.on_create will only set the bind_password for newly created authentication mechanisms. | |
| user string / required | The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER. | ||
| user_template string | Specifies the distinguished name of the user who is logging on. You specify the template as a variable that the system replaces with user-specific information during the logon attempt. For example, you could specify a user template such as %[email protected] or uxml:id=%s,ou=people,dc=siterequest,dc=com.When a user attempts to log on, the system replaces %s with the name the user specified in the Basic Authentication dialog box, and passes that as the distinguished name for the bind operation.The system passes the associated password as the password for the bind operation. This field can contain only one %s and cannot contain any other format specifiers. | ||
| validate_certs boolean added in 2.0 |
| Specifies whether the system checks an SSL peer, as a result of which the system requires and verifies the server certificate. aliases: ssl_check_peer | |
Notes
Note
- For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
- Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
- The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
Examples
- name: Create an LDAP authentication object
bigip_device_auth_ldap:
name: foo
provider:
password: secret
server: lb.mydomain.com
user: admin
delegate_to: localhost
