 I just upgraded our devices to 14.1.2.6 due to CVE-2020-5902. I'm running version 5.3.1 which worked well on version 13 but not it appears to have issues with connecting to the devices and it is intermittent. I keep getting the error:

 

The script failed to connect to <ip address>, run the report manually to determine if this was due to a timeout of bad credentials.

<ip address> error: The request failed with HTTP status 401: F5 Authorization Required.

 

It is the same credentials that it has always had so I'm wondering if there was a change in how authorization goes due to the control plane vulnerability with CVE-2020-5902. I've logged into the GUI with the credentials to verify they work. Any ideas?
