Please confirm this is TMOS 11.5 or higher. iControl REST was GAed in 11.5. It was EAed in 11.4, but required you to enable the service manually. If you are using 11.4, please see the 11.4 iControl REST User's Guide on how to enable the service. Personally... upgrade to 11.5+. We learned enough in the EA phase to change some things. Might as well learn what's current.
When you connect to iControl REST, the Server response header will not show as Apache, but as:
Server: com.f5.rest.common.RestRequestSender
If you are certain you are on 11.5+, are you sure you have direct access to the BIG-IP's management interface on that URL? Open the same URL in firefox or Chrome. What do you get?
Personally I toolsmith my REST queries in Chrome's POSTMAN application. Makes iControl REST use nice and easy. You can open one tab in the webui and have another tab issuing REST calls.
- satya07hyd_8175May 02, 2016Nimbostratus11.3 is the one available as trial version. So no REST calls work on 11.3 right? https://www.f5.com/trial/secure/big-ip-ltm-virtual-edition.php
- May 05, 2016Yes, REST was EA in 11.5 and went GA in 11.6. For versions prior to 11.5, you will have to use the SOAP interface.
