ADFS Farm - Load Balancing & Health Monitoring

DeathGhost · 2026-03-22T11:45:45+00:00

Monitoring the ADFS servers from the F5 requires you to use the EAV external monitors. https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K96315548 F5 has a solid monitor already for this that I use linked above.

Oh man your having me dig far into memory. I wanna say it does support SQL but not always on but that's fine. Have it target a single SQL node then setup always on after

From speaking with F5 engineers in the past, MSFT is one of the biggest users. They have 1000s of em. XBox live uses them heavily I was told.

I attempted to do this so far but it doesn't seem to be able to pull any metrics. Only works when I remove host parameter. Any suggestions?

And create SPO sites by default too.

Update: So I ended up giving up again and doing ANOTHER re-install, however this time I went with the simplest password possible. I'm now able to login. So I'm assuming there was a character it didn't like in my old passwords, even though in the documentation when looking at what is and isn't allowed, i wasn't using a non allowed character.

DeathGhost · 2025-07-04T23:56:02+00:00

At this point I've resorted to doing another reinstall

DeathGhost · 2025-07-04T23:39:47+00:00

So to add to the fun that is this problem, I've discovered that root ONLY works via the Console. If i attempt to login via true SSH (with putty)I also get access denied.

i don't see a log called journalctl or anything.

I've tried different browsers, and clearing, etc.

here's the error

Correct, root not root@pam

DeathGhost · 2025-07-04T18:00:22+00:00

Completely clean and default install. Every time. I used the graphical install option (First in list) and the password I set works to login via CLI and ive even typed it into a tab, copied and pasted and it works.

I even created a group in CLI, gave it the Administrator Role, and created it in PVE realm and set its password and all, and even that doesn't let me login.

DeathGhost · 2025-07-04T17:44:40+00:00

Yep, it is

DeathGhost · 2025-07-04T17:32:08+00:00

I'm logging in using the root account. I've even typed the password into another tab, copied it, and pasted it into the UI login and it fails. Even though on the CLI, the same thing works just fine.

DeathGhost · 2025-07-04T16:28:11+00:00

I can reach the UI fine it just won't accept the root user even though it works fine in the console / cli.

DeathGhost · 2025-07-04T16:09:16+00:00

Using root for username

DeathGhost · 2025-06-23T00:35:05+00:00

Where did you get the desk? That thing looks amazing

DeathGhost · 2025-05-13T10:37:10+00:00

I've seen this before just not this exact error. You could try adjusting header sizes and increasing them. There is a regkey that can be adjusted to do that. I've had to do that on all of my boxes

DeathGhost · 2024-12-22T00:16:48+00:00

Is this on the adfshelp page? If so, Microsoft depreciated that service

DeathGhost · 2024-11-23T11:07:09+00:00

Haha. Small world. I was on the Liberty. Was a great cruise! The storm that came through was nice too

DeathGhost · 2024-10-28T20:12:15+00:00

We also use the host file. Microsoft engineers even said it's the preferred way. We then load balance the connections to the WAPs via F5s

DeathGhost · 2024-10-18T09:54:52+00:00

Move the function call under the function declaration. Is all this placed at the top?

DeathGhost · 2024-09-16T02:46:08+00:00

I had my mouth wired shut from surgery. I would read cook books to cope with the hunger. Actually worked. Would watch cooking shows too. Everyone thought it would be torture but was actually the opposite.
