AAA error logging into ASA

[chadcampbell10]

Hello,

I am unable to log into my Main context and my edge context, I am getting the error: aaa server host machine not responding, is there a way around this, or am I going to have to do a password recovery to edit the order of the TACACS+?

Do you have a copy of the aaa config for each context? You should be able to log in using local credentials if you specified LOCAL as a backup method.

For some reason the local did not work, so what we did was create another TACACS+ server, and was able to get it to authenticate against it, so we was able to login and correct the config.
