Hi all,

I am trying to find a way to use Rest API like search endpoint for splunk but my problem is my company use Okta application to login to splunk. So I can't have username or password for splunk so is there any ways to bypass this auth ?

Hello @RayJacobs 

you have to two options:

1. Create and use a local user

2. Create and use an authentication token (preferred solution)

Oh, yes the link is broken.

Regarding the local user check out Create and manage users with Splunk Web - Splunk Documentation but as I already mentioned you should prefer that way Create authentication tokens - Splunk Documentation
