Manage secret storage using the Splunk REST API

You can securely store, update, retrieve, and delete secrets using the Splunk REST API. When you use the REST API, use the splunkd management port, 8089, and the secure HTTPS protocol.

Use these endpoints to manage secrets:

storage/passwords

storage/passwords/name

 Examples

The following examples show how to manage secret storage in an app using the storage/passwords and storage/passwords/name REST API endpoints.

List all secrets stored in the secret_storage_test app:

curl -k -u <username>:<password> \
https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/secret_storage_test/storage/passwords/

Store a new secret for the user1 user in the secret_storage_test app:

curl -k -u <username>:<password> \
https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/secret_storage_test/storage/passwords \
-d name=user1 -d password=password1 -d realm=realm1

List the secrets stored for the user1 user in the secret_storage_test app:

curl -k -u <username>:<password> \
https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/secret_storage_test/storage/passwords/user1

Update a secret for the user1 user in the secret_storage_test app:

curl -k -u <username>:<password> \
https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/secret_storage_test/storage/passwords/realm1:user1 \
-d password=password2

Delete a secret for the user1 user from the secret_storage_test app:
