During Cloud.Red Service on-boarding, the following changes will be required on F5 hosts

* The on-boarding process will create the “wtit\_ao\_admin” local user account for API and application interfacing with the host\*\*
* The on-boarding process will create the “wtit\_admin” local user account on the hosts for remote SSO login (when allowed/enabled)\*\*
* Additional “wtit\_client\_\*” local user accounts will be created when enrolling in client remote access.

<br />

If enrolled in monitoring, the following changes will be required

* Remote logging will be updated, adding the Cloud.Red on-premises virtual machine as a Remote Syslog Server.
* SNMP trapping will be updated, adding the Cloud.Red on-premises virtual machine as an SNMP (v2c) trap destination.
* SNMP access will be updated, adding the Cloud.Red on-premises virtual machine as an SNMP (v2c) polling agent. An additional SNMP community will be added if required.
* On BIGIPs, Logic will be added to inject a special "node up" message to the logs every 1 minute to use as a heartbeat.

> **NOTE: There is logic built into this solution to ensure WTIT user accounts remain active and in place in the event of a reboot or code upgrade.**

> **NOTE: A Password Rotation Policy will be put in place for both WTIT user accounts rotating every 30 days. The passwords will be stored securely and encrypted in our database.**
