How to connect to Splunk in a VM from Local Machine?

[Kashif]

Hi,

I need to Connect to Splunk Enterprise that is hosted within a VM from my Local Machine using Python. I tried with the Port 8000, The connection seemed to be established but I cannot do anything further like querying etc. 

Thanks & Regards

Port 8000 is for the UI.  The REST and SDK interfaces use port 8089.

How do I connect using the Port 8089.. It's Showing Some SSL Error

Which SSL error is showing?  Have you tried disabling certificate verification?
