REST API authentication issues

[00unjx1n1BGc107tR5d6]

Since upgrading our ASAs we've been having issues accessing the REST API using a local user account.

Is anyone able to provide me with any insight to what the issue could be?

When trying to login into the API doc page I cannot access it with a local user account either.

When debugging it returns the following:

[ra token-auth error]: REST API: Rest Authenticate: Primary server group lookup failed

Any code base post 9.12.4 is where the issue arises. I also have the same problem when using the latest ASAv, ASDM and API versions.

Would appreciate any help with this.

Workaround:
Apply the following commands on ASA:

no aaa authentication http console LOCAL

no aaa authentication enable console LOCAL

aaa authentication enable console LOCAL
