F5OS support for TACACS+ over CLI

We ran into issues deploying rSeries and VELOS platforms on the network at our company using a custom form of TACACS+.  Our implementation allows for application-specific domains with unique ports and keys.

We had issues with it until we added the attribute value pairs to the TACACS+ domain profiles:

Admin (unlimited_config):

F5-F5OS-UID=1001

F5-F5OS-GID=9000  

Operator (unlimited_enable):

F5-F5OS-UID=1001

F5-F5OS-GID=9001

This change resolved the access issues via GUI and we are able to access using our TACACS+ credentials, but it does NOT work via CLI for access using the same credentials. We already have a case out to F5 about this, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same implementation challenge on accessing CLI using TACACS+.
