f5 cis pod crashes and restarts on checking status of task

Afternoon. The error message with code 500 below is showing a auth issue. CIS cannot connect to the API. 

"results":[{"code":500,

 Can you please check the following

1) Install AS3 endpoint on AS3 https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-appsvcs-extension/latest/userguide/installation.html

2) Needs needs a Admin account to configure BIG-IP. This is added to K8S via secrets. 

Why does CIS need admin credentials? https://clouddocs.f5.com/containers/latest/reference/faq.html

Let me know if this helps.
