Nimbostratus404 Errors for REST Services - BigIP Virtual Edition
I just installed the demo version of the the BIG-IP Virtual Edition. After going through the setup I get a 404 Error when trying to access the REST API as admin, or as a user I created. Is there something I need to enable to get the rest services working? I have tried many examples all with the same results. Any help is appreciated.

Please confirm this is TMOS 11.5 or higher. iControl REST was GAed in 11.5. It was EAed in 11.4, but required you to enable the service manually. If you are using 11.4, please see the 11.4 iControl REST User's Guide on how to enable the service. Personally... upgrade to 11.5+. We learned enough in the EA phase to change some things. Might as well learn what's current.
When you connect to iControl REST, the Server response header will not show as Apache, but as:
Server: com.f5.rest.common.RestRequestSenderIf you are certain you are on 11.5+, are you sure you have direct access to the BIG-IP's management interface on that URL? Open the same URL in firefox or Chrome. What do you get?
Personally I toolsmith my REST queries in Chrome's POSTMAN application. Makes iControl REST use nice and easy. You can open one tab in the webui and have another tab issuing REST calls.
satya07hyd_817511.3 is the one available as trial version. So no REST calls work on 11.3 right? https://www.f5.com/trial/secure/big-ip-ltm-virtual-edition.php- Yes, REST was EA in 11.5 and went GA in 11.6. For versions prior to 11.5, you will have to use the SOAP interface.
tperrysov_18165DOH! I thought I downloaded the latest, as it was what was pointed from the main site. However it was pointing to 11.3 for the trial version. After getting my licensed version of 11.6 installed I am able to get to hit the REST api as expected. Thanks for the quick response.
