Absolute

introduction this guide explains how to authenticate the absolute connector in swimlane using token based authentication you will generate api credentials in the absolute platform, collect the required identifiers, and configure the connector asset in swimlane turbine prerequisites absolute access requirements you must have administrative access to the absolute console with permissions to access the absolute api generate api credentials manage devices and device groups required credentials during setup you will collect absolute api base url token id token secret authentication method overview the absolute connector authenticates using a token based authentication mechanism consisting of a token id and token secret absolute api setup take the following steps to generate api credentials in absolute log in to the absolute console with an administrator account navigate to the api or developer settings section create a new api integration or api credential generate a token id and token secret copy the token id and token secret store the credentials securely for use in swimlane connector configuration in swimlane take the following steps to configure the absolute connector asset in swimlane log in to turbine from the left hand navigation pane click orchestration and then assets the asset homepage opens click the plus i con to open the configure your connector asset window select absolute from the asset type list fill in the asset settings and asset input as shown below configuration parameters field description required url absolute api endpoint url required token id token id generated in absolute required token secret token secret associated with the token id required verify ssl enable or disable ssl certificate verification optional http proxy proxy configuration optional troubleshooting if authentication fails ensure the token id and token secret are correct verify the api base url is correct confirm the api credentials are active check ssl verification settings if using internal certificates validate proxy configuration if network traffic is routed through a proxy sources • absolute api documentation https //developer absolute com/ result you have successfully authenticated the absolute connector in swimlane
