Hi guys

When i run following code

   <html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>How to start a Splunk session</title>
    <!--<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/app/kaisers_weinberater/jquery.min.js"></script>-->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/app/kaisers_weinberater/splunk-sdk-javascript/client/splunk.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    function displayApps() {
        var http = new splunkjs.ProxyHttp("/proxy");

        // Create a Service instance and log in 
        var service = new splunkjs.Service(http, {
            username: "admin",
            password: "admin",
            scheme: "https",
            host: "localhost",
            port:"8089",
            version:"5.0.1"
        }); 

// Retrieve the collection of jobs
var myJobs = service.jobs();

myJobs.fetch(function(err, jobs) {

  // Determine how many jobs are in the collection
  var jobsList = myJobs.list() || [];
  console.log("There are " + jobsList.length + " jobs available to the current user");

  // Loop through the collection and display each job's SID
  for(var i = 0; i < jobsList.length; i++) {
    console.log((i + 1) + ": " + jobsList[i].sid);
  };
});

    }
    </script> 
</head>
<body>
    <button type="button" onclick="displayApps()">Log in and list apps</button>
    <p id="applist"></p>
</body>
</html>

i get following error:

https://localhost:8000/en-US/proxy/services/auth/login?output_mode=json

Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!:)

I assume that you are running Splunk on the local machine, and that you are using port 8000 (the default)?

Hi Iguinn:) that´s right. Thought :8089 is the port for communication with the splunk server? How can i instantiate the http object without the proxy function?
After changing this line to var http = new splunkjs.ProxyHttp(".."); i get rid off the 404 error. But the response json data from splunkd is {"data": null, "total": 0, "messages": [{"message": "Invalid viewstate param name: username; aborting", "time": "2013-01-28T09:59:48", "type": "ERROR"}

The 404 seems to be related to the fact that the request isn't actually making it to Splunk. By default, browsers don't allow cross-site scripting - Same origin policy. You will need to tell your web server to proxy specific requests to Splunk. For example, when running apache, following 2 lines of code do the trick.

SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyPass   /proxy/             https://localhost:8089/

Hope this helps.
