NimbostratusHow to create authentication token for iControl
Hi,
How can we create authentication token on iControl instead of username:password and used that token to search for node status using curl?
Thanks

R_MarcNope. That would be an awesome feature, however. But it would be a feature request. It's BA only, presently, and there's no RBAC or remote auth.

use curl with -c or --cookie-jar and -u username:password to perform the initial login to the page, then perform the iControl REST requests you want eg curl -c cookies.txt -u admin:password https://172.24.20.12/mgmt/tm curl -c cookies.txt https://172.24.20.12/mgmt/tm/ltm/node/stats
