Description:
Severity: 3-Major ... Symptoms ... REST Requests are intermittently failing with a 401 error. ... The restjavad-audit.*.log shows these requests are closely preceded by a 503 response from /mgmt/tm/auth/source. ... Impact ... REST requests will fail with a misleading response code and for no readily apparent reason. ... Conditions ... Triggered when a REST request comes in using Basic Auth while an asynchronous task is executing on the BIG-IP. ... An example of an asynchronous task is the BIG-IP processing an AS3 declaration. ... Workaround ... Use token based authentication for REST requests.
