Hi,
there is a workaround in case you are using the REST API not via the management interface.
A virtual server rewrites the Auth header (it´s a basic authentication) to "admin" (passphrase is b64 encoded with basic authentication) after validating the users credentials inside the iRule. This approach will also allow to add client cert based user authentication and a source IP based ACL for REST API access. The request will be forwarded to a self-IP (via node command in iRule).
Thanks, Stephan
