Symptoms
When the LDAP configuration on Auth Settings is updated via webUI, the unchanged/existing bind password is replaced by an empty string, resulting in LDAP authentication failure.
Impact
Bind password is not preserved.
Conditions
Modify existing LDAP configuration on Auth Settings screen.
Workaround
One of the following:
-- Use the F5OS CLI to modify authentication settings, rather than using the webUI.
-- When editing authentication settings in the webUI, always re-enter the bind password.
Fix Information
Updating LDAP configuration preserves existing/unchanged bind password, will not result in LDAP authentication failure.
