Hi there!

I have access to the following cookies from the browser while in a Splunk session:

'csrftoken=...; splunkweb_csrf_token_8000=...; session_id_8000=...; splunkd_8000=...'

Is it possible to log in to Splunk using python SDK with these cookies?

The documentation has client.connect(host, port, cookies), however this isn't working for me. Seems like it might need splunkd_8089 cookie?

Cheers!
