Cisco ASA REST-API INTERNAL-SERVER-ERROR (All REST-API 1.3.2 versions) (ASA 9.8.x & 9.7.x) Context and no Context

Axel Boersma
Level 1
Level 1

I have been trying to do something with REST-API on Cisco ASA for more then a year, but for some reason I am only able to get the response 500 INTERNAL-SERVER-ERROR.

 

This is on Multi-Context system as well as an Single Context.

 

Config is done as written in the documentation of the ASA REST-API client.

 

Am I missing something?? Or is this a bug, that doesn't get fixed??

 

Attached debug logs doesn't tell me anything is realy wrong but a crash of Java.

 

Don't tell me to create a TAC case. So far Cisco TAC hasn't been very helpful for the cases I opened, still need to create a TAC case for a cisco VPN bug that is still there which nobody notices apparently.

Are you seeing these java errors when you browse to the API [https://asa-managment-ip/api] ?

{"commonMessages":[{"level":"Error","code":"METHOD-NOT-ALLOWED"}],"entryMessages":[]}

 

No 500 error when directly going to /api

In what application are you getting the Java errors?

Direct URL

RESTCLient firefox add-on

https://firewall ip/doc/

 

Doesn't matter which restapi url I use always internal-server-error.

 

So if somebody gives me working samples (URL/Python) to try please do so, because everything I try doens't work.

Do you have AAA running on the ASA? I'm seeing the same behavior you are and this was the response from Cisco because we use Command Authorization:

Command Authorization

If command authorization is configured to use an external AAA server (for example, aaa authorization command < TACACS+_server >), then a user named enable_1 must exist on that server with full command privileges.

 

From: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/api/qsg-asa-api.html#pgfId-61953

Do you have to use the management port for this to work?  We utilize the management port for FirePower services module so we are wanting to use the inside interface.  I did see an authorization failure for an "enable_1" and i've created the user (in ISE) but when i try to do the GET to https://(inside interface ip)/api/objects/networkobjects I still get the 500 error and I don't see any authorization attempts from Enable_1.

Update - I had to stop the rest-api agent and then re-enable it and then it started working!

Thanks  Issac, its working for me too after your workaround!!
