About Transparent Identity Import

A Transparent Identity Import action obtains an IP-address-to-username-mapping, if it exists, from an IF-MAP server located on the BIG-IP system. If the mapping exists, the user identity is assumed to be known.

Note: An IF-MAP server exists and is populated when the F5 DC Agent is installed, configured, and operating correctly in your network.

A Transparent Identity Import action provides two branches: Associated and fallback.
