Getting a 401 only on select REST calls (token auth)
I am probably doing something stupid, but I keep getting 401s when making REST calls to our v13 BIG-IP devices. What is weird is that the same exact token works fine when sending GETs, but POSTs/PUTs...

Figured this out a little while ago and it has to do with the loginProviderName in the JSON object sent. When setting
"loginProviderName": "tmos"
against a BIG-IQ, this will fail hard, so I had removed this property from the login request object in a shared function I was using. Eliminating this property will allow token generation from a BIG-IP with read privileges, but will not allow writing.
