Overview

To authenticate with Tanium, you will need:
  1. API Token — an API token generated from the Tanium Console.
  2. Hostname — your Tanium Cloud hostname (e.g. acme.cloud.tanium.com).
This guide walks you through generating your API Token and finding your Hostname in Tanium.

Prerequisites

  • You must have administrator access to the Tanium Console.

Instructions

Step 1: Generate an API token

  1. Log in to the Tanium Console as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to Administration > Permissions > API Tokens.
  3. Click New API Token.
  4. Optionally scope the token to specific roles. For full access, assign the Administrator role.
  5. Copy the generated token value, it is shown only once and cannot be retrieved again.

Step 2: Find your hostname

  • Your Tanium Cloud hostname is the domain you use to access the Tanium Console, for example acme.cloud.tanium.com.

Step 3: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your API Token and Hostname:
  1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Tanium.
  2. Enter your API Token and Hostname in their respective fields.
  3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
You are now connected to Tanium.
