Connect with an API token
-
In Duo SSO:
- Sign in to the Duo Admin Panel as an administrator with the Owner role.
- Go to Applications › Application Catalog, search for Admin API, and click + Add.
- On the new application's page, select only Grant resource - Read and Grant administrators - Read (leave write, settings and other grants unselected), then save the application.
- Copy the Integration key, Secret key and API hostname shown on the application's page.
- Paste the Secret key as the token, and enter the API hostname as the Base URL.
Where to find the other values:
- Base URL (optional): The Admin API application's page shows the API hostname (api-xxxxxxxx.duosecurity.com).
- Account / Org / Workspace (optional): The Admin API application's page shows the Integration key.
Duo SSO's public documentation does not cover every step.
