Hello Jason :)

 

I still get a 401 access denied error, think it's something on F5 side. Need to request to the managing team to verify the appropriate privileges. Anyway, I'm getting around this error using the iControl Powershell module, so should be able to reach the same result and no errors authenticating with the F5.

 

Thank you for your help!
