Tacas+ authentication

How is it possible to configure BIG-IP version 11.6.0 to choose a remote AAA login over the admin account I have configured. I want to be able to have the local admin account stil function should the remote AAA be down. As it is right now I am able to login both as admin and my tacacs+ active directory at the same time. I want BIG-IP to prioritize the remote AAA over the local admin account and only use the admin as a fallback account.

    Hi,

    when working with remote authentication, all administrators authenticate against the configured servers except 

    admin
    account.

    admin
    account is always local to prevent authentication issues.

    In version 13, there is a new option 

    Fallback to Local
    to allow local fallback but admin user is still local only.
