Hello @ckulinsk,

In the meantime would you kindly recommend any workaround for posting payload to api endpoint. Currently we wrote a python script in order to do it, but we would appreciate to use any Akamai recommended solution.

Hello @dvhh
It seems that the issue is mainly about using the < operator. So something like cat payload.json | http -v --auth-type=edgegrid -a default: POST :/identity-management/v3/user-admin/ui-identities should work. Please let us know if that is sufficient workaround for you until we fix the <.

Best regards,
Wojciech
