iControlREST: X-F5-Auth-Token does not exist

The auth token expires every 20 minutes. Are you sure you're not sending an expired token?

The auth token expires every 20 minutes. Are you sure you're not sending an expired token?

If not timeout, then possibly copy & paste (or parsing) error. Run tcpdump to see if your program is sending a correct token.

If not parsing bug, then possibly you didn't get the token at all. Check the response status code and json data.

Try manually first as below.

Get a token:

curl -sk https://mgmtPort/mgmt/shared/authn/login -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -d '{"username":"admin", "password":"secret", "loginProviderName":"tmos"}'

Output (abridged):

{"username":"admin",
 ...
 "token": {
   "token":"3YJFTKX4434X5ZZ7LGBPS5CAVA",
   "name":"3YJFTKX4434X5ZZ7LGBPS5CAVA", 
   ...
 },
 "timeout":1200,       <<< seconds (=20 min)
 "startTime":"2017-07-05T13:42:47.103+1200",
 ...
}

Use the token (let go, Luke):

 curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token: 3YJFTKX4434X5ZZ7LGBPS5CAVA" \
  https://mgmtPort/mgmt/tm/sys/version

When you've got a wrong token:

 curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token: 3YJFTKX4434X5ZZ7LGBPS5CA" \ <<< forgot the last two chars.
  https://mgmtPort/mgmt/tm/sys/version

Output

{"code":401,"message":"X-F5-Auth-Token does not xist.", ...}

You can check the available tokens on the system as below:

 curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token: 3YJFTKX4434X5ZZ7LGBPS5CAVA" \
  https://mgmtPort/mgmt/shared/authz/tokens  | python -m json.tool | grep \"token\"

Output:

            "token": "3YJFTKX4434X5ZZ7LGBPS5CAVA",

Can you run a simple iControl REST request (such as getting

/mgmt/tm/sys/version

/mgmt/shared/authz/tokens
