WEBconfig: /Setup/Tacacs+
WEBconfig English: /Setup/Tacacs+
Should the defined TACACS+ server be unavailable, it is possible to fallback to local user accounts on the device. This allows for access to the device even if the TACACS+ connection should fail, e.g. when deactivating the usage of TACACS+ or for correcting the configuration.
Possible values: Allowed, prohibited
Default: Allowed
Note: The fallback to local user accounts presents a security risk if no root password is set for the device. For this reason, TACACS+ authentication with fallback to local user accounts can only be activated if a root password has been set. If no root password is set, access to the device configuration can be blocked for security reasons if no connection is available to the TACACS+ server. In this case, the device may have to be reset to its factory settings in order to regain access to the configuration.
