How to write admin credentials within the command

[splunk_user_99]

Hello guys,

Is there any possibility to execute a CLI command within the credentials (username and password)?

Like, for the password it would be "--seed-passwd password123".
Is there anything like that for the username?

Thank you for your time.

Add this to any passworded CLI command:

-auth admin:changeme

Hi, how about this?

[splunk_user_99]

To be more specific, I wanted to add a licenser-localslave to a master through a command. When i execute the command, i was asked for my admin credentials of the splunk instance. But I want to automize this whole process through scripting and thats why i need a command where I could execute the command within the credentials.
