UPDATE: I opened a support case on this issue, and got additional information.

 

a) You can get to bash from tmsh by typing "run util bash" b) The 11.x BigIP TMOS: Implementations chapter Configuring Remote User Authentication and Authorization specifically lists Advanced Shell as an option, but it is not there (in 11.4.1, at least) c) The "Other" option only allows two choices, "enabled" and "disabled" (case sensitive) d) This is not a Linux auth. restriction, but rather an intentional design characteristic e) RFE 358740 "Allow bash shell for remote users" has been written to address this issue
