Using the curl command:
curl -u 591bf65f50057469f10b5fd9:0cf17f9b03d056ds0e11e48497e506a2 https://backend.tdk.com/api/devicetypes/59147fd79e93s12e61499ffe/me
Other possible solution : I tried to map the result of a restTemplate.getForObject with a private class instance (defined inside of my working class). It did not work, but if I define the object to public, inside its own file, it worked correctly.
