Can't access some of the rest endpoints for setup

I'm trying to setup a big-ip instance via the api endpoints but for some reason, some of them I can't access.

For example, I was able to setup the licensing part with these endpoints: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iWorkflow.APIRef_tm_shared_licensing_activation.ashx

but then when i try to create a partition via these endpoints: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iWorkflow.APIRef_device_big-ip_auth_partition_create.ashx

I get this error:

$1

I also get a similar error for some endpoints but not others. I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong or have I setup something wrong?

    Hi Ronak,

    Please try the below, where fw_objs is the partition name here.

     

    curl -sku admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https:///mgmt/tm/sys/folder -d '{"subPath": "/", "fullPath": "/fw_objs", "name": "fw_objs" }'

    I got the same error with that as well

     

    curl -H "X-F5-Auth-Token: $F5_TOKEN" --request POST \
>   --insecure \
>   --data '{"subPath": "/", "fullPath": "/test1", "name": "test1" }' \
>   https://"$F5_ADDR"/mgmt/device/big-ip/auth/partition/create 
{"code":400,"message":"URI path /mgmt/device/big-ip/auth/partition/create not registered.  Please verify URI is supported and wait for /available suffix to be responsive.","restOperationId":11440420,"kind":":resterrorresponse"}

    is that the same as when going into the UI under "users" and "partition list" and then creating one? Thats what I'm trying to do via the API.

    Is that the end point I'm making when creating the partition,see my endpoint in the answer below, you are still making it to mgmt/device/big-ip/auth/partition/create

     

    It should be /mgmt/tm/sys/folder
