Error 401 with Webtools v3.1.2 and username/password

[splunkreal]

Hello @jkat54 noticed in splunkbase release notes "-Removed ability to specify user and pass with the command, use splunkpasswdname & splunkpasswdcontext OR token=<token> OR splunkauth=true instead."

You should update the curl commands on Details tab of splunkbase app as this is misleading.

For the moment using v3.1.2 could only make work using token not username/password. Getting error 401 when it works correctly with CLI curl command. I'm using "REST storage/passwords Manager for Splunk"

syntax: | curl method=get uri="https://xxx/internalqueries?queryguid={3A798982-3D8F-465C-BB01-9E90CE4D3B4D}&filterguid={73B09AC4-6C...}" splunkpasswdname="api.xxx" splunkauth=f

I could make it work using v3.1.0 so maybe there is a bug with latest version?

Thanks for your help and thank you for this app!

I think I'll update to "token or splunkauth" only.  

that app we used previously for storing passwords isn't cloud compatible and hasn't been updated since 3/2024 so I guess we ditched it in the latest cloud version.

Thanks for the feedback, you can always use the working version as needed.  

The newer versions may have more functionality but the primary reason we continue to update is to keep in line with cloud  compatibility policies. 

Cheers!
