# Absolute

## Connection Requirements

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Domain

The domain of the Absolute server you want to connect to. Requests will be directed to this address.

{% hint style="info" %}
🔵 Default: <https://api.absolute.com>
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
⚠️ The domain may change depending on the region where the server is located. For example, while the login URL might be <https://cc.absolute.com>, the API URL should use the corresponding api domain, like <https://api.absolute.com>. You can enter the correct API URL by replacing the cc part with the appropriate api domain.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Token ID

Token ID to authenticate against Absolute server.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Token Secret

Token Secret (Secret Key) to authenticate against the Absolute server.

To get Token ID and Token Secret:

* Log in to the **Secure Endpoint Console** with a user that has **Manage permission** for API credentials.
* Click **Create API token**.
* In **Add title**, enter a name for your token.
* Select **Generate Token** under the Symmetric encryption section.
* Click on the **Expiration date** field and select an expiration date (at least one day in the future).
* Set the desired **Permissions**. You can use: **Select All** to grant all permissions assigned to your user role, or manually enable specific permissions like **View** or **Manage**.
* (Optional) Enter any allowed IP addresses to restrict API access. If none is set, all IPs are allowed.
* Click **Save** to generate the token.
* In the **Token Key Details** section:
  * Click **Copy** next to the **Token ID** and save it securely.
  * Click **Copy** next to the **Token Secret Key** and save it securely.
  * Alternatively, click **Download Token** to save both values in a `.token` file.
* **Important:** If you close this dialog without copying or downloading the secret key, it cannot be retrieved again. You'll need to create a new token.
