REST API Enpoint is not available within MFWA

Question

Hi, 
 I'm setting up Rest Api system on M-Files. 
 I have done steps below: 1. Enable all IIS components (Windows Server 2019, IIS 10, .Net 4.7.2) -> Done 
 2. Configure Both Web Clients and M-Files Mobiles on M-Files -> Done 
 3. Set up IIS binding -> Done 
 Now I can enter to M-Files web, and login successfully. 
 However, when I tried to browse /REST/, server return: 
 {"Status":404,"URL":"","Method":"GET","Exception":{"Name":"NotFoundException","Message":"Exception of type 'MFWS.NotFoundException' was thrown."},"Stack":"ID tham chiếu lỗi: ff95cc6f-56cc-4138-bcc6-fd682cc0e82c","Message":"Exception of type 'MFWS.NotFoundException' was thrown.","IsLoggedToVault":false,"IsLoggedToApplication":false,"ExceptionName":"NotFoundException"} 
 When I explore the MFWA location, I see that /REST/ is not available as describe in documentation guide. 
 Do I have to do another step to install REST API? 
 Does anyone have any idea about this? please help!

Additionally: the "REST" folder/path isn't a physical one, so don't expect to see anything in IIS or on disk. It's a route added by the application itself, and then code within the classic web interface reacts to certain URIs and HTTP verbs. I am 95% sure that it's there and working (as MFWA is working), just that you need to try it with a programmatic tool rather than a web browser.

Have you tried to make a programmatic request via PostMan or similar, or just via your browser? The REST API will return similar to what you posted when making requests via the browser.
