Connect with an API token

  1. In Duo SSO:

    1. Sign in to the Duo Admin Panel as an administrator with the Owner role.
    2. Go to Applications › Application Catalog, search for Admin API, and click + Add.
    3. 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.
    4. Copy the Integration key, Secret key and API hostname shown on the application's page.
    5. 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.
