2. Locate the default authentication type. Change the tc value to point
to the new ldap-defaults type (see Figure 12.13).
3. Create the file /etc/ldapb/servers. Add one line for the host name of
the LDAP server to connect to, and the secret used by that server
user (see Figure 12.14). For security reasons, we recommend that
you use IP addresses instead of host names for the entries in this
file. If you specify a host name for an entry, we recommend that you
add the host name to the /etc/hosts file.
4. Before logging out, test the configuration by running the login
program, either on a virtual console or using Telnet. That way you
can correct any configuration errors before that may prevent you
from accessing the BIG-IP.
Allowing multiple authentication styles
We recommend that you allow multiple authentication styles. This allows
you to log in even if the LDAP or RADIUS server is not working properly.
You can specify multiple authentication styles in the auth field such as
radius,passwd. With the example radius,passwd, RADIUS is the default
authentication style, but you still have the ability to override the style and
force a login using the password file by appending :passwd after the login
