How do I prepare F5 BIGIP for collection by Nanitor?

Introduction

Nanitor supports a BIG-IP by connecting via SSH and performs an audit and inventory.

Preparation

Nanitor requires a user in order to connect via SSH, the user needs to have the auditor role and have its shell set to tmsh. Here is an example how to create the user in tmsh. This example will assume username: nanitor and password: changeme, so please change these parameters before issuing the command:

create auth user nanitor password changeme partition-access add { all-partitions { role auditor } } shell tmsh

Now we can add these credentials into Nanitor and use it to collect from BIG-IP.
