Fallback local account works when remote auth server is UP
I have remote authentication configured and have created a fallback local account.
My goal for local fallback account is twofold:
- WORK when remote auth server is DOWN
- NOT WORK when remote auth server is UP
The first case works fine but I notice that local account works even when remote auth server is UP, which is not pure fallback. How can I achieve that ?
I have followed K67025432 (Configuring remote authentication fallback on BIG-IP systems)
fallback is configured as follows:
auth source {
    description none
    fallback true
    type tacacs
}
Local account:
auth user emergency {
    description "remote authentication fallback account"
    encrypted-password $6$ogpR9DMV$ImG9kaaaaaaaaaaaaJ4POotYfu4j6B5HjmJMLD6TYpdVRaNhJICke/
    partition Common
    partition-access {
        all-partitions {
            role admin
        }
    }
    session-limit -1
    shell bash
}
My goal is use case in line 3:
