Working on my side with 11.5.1 HF2. Do you have a remote role configuration ? if no what is your default external users configuration for role and terminal in the configuration ?

I've been trying to get something like this to work for my customer, with no success. I tried manipulating the Authorization header, keeping BigIP credentials and AD credentials the same, but while my logic appears sound, I don't think the BigIP is allowing me. I'm using an APM profile to do the auth, but it's just not yet working. I'll post more on DevCentral later if I get it working.

@arnaud
Yes i have remote role configuration. The user trying to access the rest API is an administrator. Any ideas why this is happening.?

quick update on this one, there is an existing bug opened for it. remote user authentication is currently working for Icontrol SOAP but not for Icontrol REST.

Hey everyone,
If someone facing this problems, there is an workaround in version 12.
You need to create the User first local on the device, after that you can use that user to make REST call's just with basic auth. So you need no Post to the login or/and an login reference.
There is a dokumentation with authentication token, but I don't managed to get this to work on an bigip (https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/icontrol.authentication_with_the_f5_rest_api.ashx) maybe it's only for bigiq.
Regards Stefan
