Using API auth token

To configure this credential, you'll need:

• An Auth Token: Once you've enabled token authentication, create an auth token in Settings > Tokens. Refer to Creating authentication tokens for more information.
• A Base URL: For your Splunk instance. This should include the protocol, domain, and port, for example: https://localhost:8089.
• Allow Self-Signed Certificates: If turned on, n8n will connect even if SSL validation fails.

Required capabilities

Your Splunk platform account and role must have certain capabilities to create authentication tokens:

• edit_tokens_own: Required if you want to create tokens for yourself.
• edit_tokens_all: Required if you want to create tokens for any user on the instance.

Refer to Define roles on the Splunk platform with capabilities for more information.
