How to hide login information from URL?

[subitha_kennedy]

I created a landing page for all applications.. but the login information is visible in url.. how can i change that xml..

I don't want to see the login information in url. Attached the code I am using .

<panel>
<input type="dropdown" token="user_name" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>User Name</label>
<selectFirstChoice>true</selectFirstChoice>
<search>
<query>
| rest /services/authentication/current-context splunk_server=local | fields username | eval username=mvindex(split(username,"@"),0)
</query>
</search>
<fieldForLabel>username</fieldForLabel>
<fieldForValue>username</fieldForValue>
</input>

<div class="dropdown-content">
<a>$form.user_name$</a>
<a href="*" target="_blank">My Profile</a>
</div>

Any reply would be highly helpful..

Thanks,

Splunk lover

Hi @subitha_kennedy,

let me understand: you created a dashboard panel that displays the usernames of your user and you want to hide usernames, whay you did it?

The values of the tokens are passed in the URL - the only way to not have them present in the URL is to not have them in the first place (or by obfuscating the values and somehow unobfuscating when you need to use the original value).
