Getting Data In

Splunk and Postman

I have a question regarding the Splunk and Postman interaction. I've set up a Splunk instance inside a Linux virtual machine. I am able to use the curl command to access Splunk endpoints in the VM. Doing so returns an SID which I can then use to get Splunk data.

However, I am having a hard time retrieving the SID from Postman. When I try to connect to the API I am met with an "Unauthorized" message (pic attached). I am using Basic Auth and inputting an admin username and PW. 

Any ideas on what to do? What piece am I missing?

Before this suggestion comes in, I've already disabled SSL Certification on Postman!
