Ensure the Setup Utility is disabled
LowLevel 1Automatedf5-bigip
Description
The Setup Utility wizard can reconfigure licensing and network settings. PASS requires gui-setup disabled in sys global-settings. Audited against tmsh output: save the concatenated output of 'tmsh list sys sshd', 'tmsh list sys httpd', 'tmsh list sys ntp', 'tmsh list sys syslog', 'tmsh list sys global-settings', 'tmsh list sys snmp' and 'tmsh list auth password-policy' (add 'all-properties' to show defaults). Patterns are scoped to the named block.
