iControl Rest and Remote Authentication

There are a few instances we've found with the F5's where if you have remote authentication enabled some things won't accept it. I've just done testing with TACACS auth and we have the same issue. I'd say it has something to do with the fact that the REST api seems to function independently to the configuration utility and in earlier versions of TMOS it was it's own service (haven't looked at it in 11.5). I'd say you may have to log a feature request, or try and find if you can set anything in config files for the REST API. The other option is to do what we did and just create a webpage that gathered all the information and presents it to the user (admittedly its only VS/Pool info and read only access). Cheers
