F5 token authentication - 401 F5 Authorization Required

I'm trying to programmatically(Java) hit f5 with token authentication. The id that i'm using is currently basic auth enabled. While it is still basic auth enabled, I can successfully make calls to f5 using only token(no basic auth used). But when the id is disabled from using basic auth, I get the error "401 F5 Authorization Required" with the same code. Any help is appreciated! Here is the code:

 

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders(); headers.setAccept(Collections.singletonList(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)); restTemplate = getRestTemplate();

 

headers.set("X-F5-Auth-Token", tokenObj.getToken()); HttpEntity

 

httpEntity = new HttpEntity(headers);

 

response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET,httpEntity,responseType);
