ASM RestAPI MD5 Hash calculation
when I use the following API for eample /mgmt/tm/asm/attack-types/CdlqS-GlMoFdQYr5VfSJDg, CdlqS-GlMoFdQYr5VfSJDg based on the F5 documentation is a MD5 hash. Based on test I did on the F5 ASM, all those MD5 hash come from the hash of the name, of the policy, signature, signature-set, etc...
but when I enter a value and calculate it's MD5, the value returned is not at all the same. Like if I do MD5 of "Detection Evasion", instead of returning CdlqS-GlMoFdQYr5VfSJDg, the value I obtained is fe81df82c81afd02556f5b7fdd7cec0e.
Is there a special way to calculate those F5 MD5, or is there a RestApi call that can be made with a name of policy, signature or other ASM items to obtain its equivalent MD5 hash value?
thanks
