Unable to connect to F5 with iControl

I have already connected my NPM to my F5 platforms with SNMP and there are no problems with that but the iControl does not work.

When I try to test the connection I get the following error.

this is incorrect since I can poll F5 with SNMP and also browse to that same address and port to view the web interface and also the API interface.

I have installed wireshark on the server and when I do a test connection I do not see any packets leaving the server, I see my UDP161 for SNMP, I see my ICMP packets but there is no traffic for port 443 when I try a connection.

I do see packets for 443 and for the API when I connect with a browser.

Have you created an account for iControl?

Yes I have, I do have access to the API from the orion server and am able to log in through chrome, its just that there is no connection when I try and connect with NPM.

I saw another thread about NPM not being able to connect to iControl when AD authentication is used.

Not sure where the thread it. Sorry
