TACACS+ Configuration

Dear Team,     I have configured TACACS+ remote authentication for a BIG IP LTM appliance(version 9.4.5) using the below URL     http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/8000/800/so...

Aaron or Cory, similar isssue...My security team has a Nessus scanner that tries to SSH to my v11.x BIGIPs to perform security scans. It uses TACACS+ and connects, but since ssh via remote auth dumps you right into tmsh instead of bash, the Nessus scanner freaks and drops connection since it doesn't understand the tmsh shell. Nessus can't issue "run util bash" to get into bash since it gets disconnected immediately.

 

So any way to get this tool to log into BIGIP via ssh directly into bash?
