Local login failed to access gui

FYI
F5 will not fallback to local authentication just because the user is missing in AD. Fallback to local only happens if the remote server is completely unreachable (network down, server offline, etc.), not if the server responds with "user not found" or "invalid password."

Is there any option how to use both local and remote authentication ?

By design, it's not possible to use both, remote and local authentication with other accounts besides root and admin. That means, that you can use the local root/admin account when you have set a remote authentication, but not other local accounts. You only can configure local authentication as backup if the remote authentication server fails.
