Upload Certificate to BIG-IQ 5.3 with REST

Looks like I had two issues going on: 1) Token auth is not accepted on this endpoint (confirmed on our LTM devices as well) and 2) BIG-IQ doesn't accept basic auth by default (https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K43725273)

Once I enabled basic auth on BIG-IQ and switched my code to use basic auth, the uploads started to work.

Thanks!

Oh great, I had to do the same, should have mentioned that =(

Thanks for letting us know. I'm not sure the impact exactly, but I've been able to upload and download using the following. BIG-IQ doesn't store backups here, so it seems innocuous:

curl -s -k -u admin:admin -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' -H 'Content-Range: 0-2/3' -d @fileo -X POST https://172.24.171.25/mgmt/shared/file-transfer/ucs-uploads/fileo

curl -s -k -u admin:admin -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' -H 'Content-Range: 0-2/3' -X GET https://172.24.171.25/mgmt/shared/file-transfer/ucs-downloads/fileo -o fileo

Good to know! I'll switch to those endpoints for our BIG-IQ devices but keep the standard upload/download endpoints for LTM/GTM devices.

Thanks again!

You're welcome Matt!

Just a heads up for anyone in the future... if you use the /ucs-uploads endpoint and then try to import the certificate into BIG-IQ with the /certificate-management endpoint (using the ADD_CERT command) the API will throw this error:

"code":400,"message":"filePath must start with /var/config/rest/downloads"

Using the regular /uploads endpoint works great. :)
