Synopsis

• Module creates a RADIUS configuration.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
accounting_bug boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables or disables validation of the accounting response vector. This option should be necessary only on older servers.
fallback_to_local boolean		Choices: no yes	Specifies the system uses the Local authentication method if the remote authentication method is not available. Option only available on TMOS 13.0.0 and above.
provider dictionary added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules			A dict object containing connection details.
	auth_provider string		Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
	no_f5_teem boolean	Choices: no yes	If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TEEM.
	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.
	timeout integer		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	Choices: rest ←	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	Choices: no yes ←	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.
retries integer			Specifies the number of authentication retries the BIG-IP Local Traffic Management system allows before authentication fails.
servers list / elements=string			Specifies the names of RADIUS servers for use with RADIUS authentication profiles.
service_type string		Choices: authenticate-only login default framed callback-login callback-framed outbound administrative nas-prompt callback-nas-prompt call-check callback-administrative	Specifies the type of service requested from the RADIUS server. The default value is authenticate-only.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	When state is present, ensures the RADIUS server exists. When state is absent, ensures the RADIUS server is removed.
use_for_auth boolean		Choices: no yes	Specifies whether or not this auth source is put in use on the system. If yes, the module sets the current system auth type to the value of radius. If no, the module sets the authentication type to local, similar behavior to when state is absent, without removing the configured RADIUS resource.

Notes

Note

• This module is based on the command line (TMSH) configuration capabilities of RADIUS authentication, not the GUI.

• 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 f5networks.f5_modules.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.
