Gettting 404 error while trying to create an access token using curl command

prashanthvp — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 21:25:09 GMT

curl command :

curl -k -u admin:Password -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/en-US/services/authorization/tokens?output_mode=json --data name=admin --data audience=Users --data-urlencode expires_on=+30d

But I am able to login via UI and create an access token.

If I try to do the same using curl command, I am getting the below response.

Note: The response has been trimmed.

<div class="error-message"> <h1 data-role="error-title">Oops.</h1> <p data-role="error-message">Page not found! Click <a href="/" data-role="return-to-splunk-home">here</a> to return to Splunk homepage.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="message-wrapper"> <div class="message-container fixed-width" data-role="more-results"><a href="/en-US/app/search/search?q=index%3D_internal%20host%3D%22f6xffpvw93.corp.com%2A%22%20source%3D%2Aweb_service.log%20log_level%3DERROR%20requestid%3D6740cfffb611125b5e0" target="_blank">View more information about your request (request ID = 6740cfffb611125b5e0) in Search</a></div> <div class="message-container fixed-width" data-role="crashes"></div> <div class="message-container fixed-width" data-role="refferer"></div> <div class="message-container fixed-width" data-role="debug"></div> <div class="message-container fixed-width" data-role="byline"> <p class="byline">.</p> </div> </div> </body>

To use the API to create access tokens, you need to use the management port (8089) not the web interface port (8000). You also need to remove the localization (en-US) part of your path.

It should be:

curl -k -u admin:Password -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8089/services/authorization/tokens?output_mode=json --data name=admin --data audience=Users --data-urlencode expires_on=+30d

I also suggest using https:// instead of http:// . You don't want your token to be visible in plaintext over the network.

Thanks a lot Marnall. That worked.
