Issues with creating smart remote repository using REST API on Edge node

Problem Description:

While trying to create a smart remote repository through a REST API on a Edge node, we do get an error indicating "Only smart remote repositories are supported with Artifactory Edge license"

However, its possible to create the smart remote repository through UI without any issues.

Steps to Reproduce:

Use the below REST API to create the smart remote repository on a Edge node

$ curl -uadmin http://artifactory.edge/artifactory/api/repositories/edge-generic-remote -d '{"key":"edge-generic-remote","username":"admin","password":"Password@2021","rclass":"remote","url":"http://artifactory.source/artifactory/jfrog-generic-local","packageType":"generic","contentSynhronisation":{"enabled":"true"}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT

It will indicate an error as below

Enter host password for user 'admin':
{ "errors" : [ \{ "status" : 400, "message" : "Only smart remote repositories are supported with Artifactory Edge license\n" } ]
}

However the same REST API to create a smart remote repository on a Artifactory node which doesn't have an EDGE license, able to create the repository

$curl -uadmin http://artifactory.source/artifactory/api/repositories/jfrog-generic-remote -d '{"key":"jfrog-generic-remote","username":"admin","password":"password","rclass":"remote","url":"http://artifactory.target/artifactory/jfrog-generic-local","packageType":"generic","contentSynhronisation":{"enabled":"true"}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT

Enter host password for user 'admin':

Successfully created repository 'jfrog-generic-remote'

Expected Results: Since, it is possible to create the smart remote repository on a Edge node using UI, while using the REST API should help in creating the smart remote repository.

Pain Level:  High as they use terraform as well as REST APIs to create the things
