Absolute
Connection Requirements
Domain
The domain of the Absolute server you want to connect to. Requests will be directed to this address.
⚠️ 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.
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
.tokenfile.
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.
⚠️ Please perform a connection test to ensure there is a valid connection to the host. When the discovery operation is finalized, you will be able to see the details on the Assets page.
