Hi Piotr,

 

This article is about client cert auth to the GUI. We have published another article about client cert auth to the API, including retrieving the auth token:

https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/big-iq/mgmt-api/v0.0/ApiReferences/bigiq_public_api_ref/r_auth_login.html#big-iq-client-certificate-authentication

In the example, we use curl to make the auth call. If you use another REST client, there is probably a different way to provide the client’s private key and the corresponding X.509 certificate on the auth call.

 

Please l.m.k. if this works for you.
