Absolute is an adaptive endpoint security solution that delivers device security, data security and asset management of endpoints

Absolute enables you to manage and secure your data, devices, and applications with an unbreakable connection to every endpoint. Your sensitive data remains protected, even when accessed from outside your network.

What does this pack do?

  • Get or update a list of custom device fields.
  • Create or remove a Freeze request for one or more devices.
  • Get detailed information about a Freeze request.
  • Get, create, update, or delete a Freeze message.
  • Initiate an un-enroll request on a list of eligible devices.
  • Get a list of device records and the corresponding software application data for a device.
  • Get a list of devices' geo location records and their corresponding data.

Prerequisites

To configure an instance of Absolute, you need to obtain the following information.

  • Server URL
  • Token ID
    • A random GUI string with its public information (like username).
    • It is associated with the same role and device group as the Absolute user account.
  • Secret Key - A random sequence of bits and is private and contains sensitive information.

Create a Token ID and Secret Key

  1. In the Absolute console, click the + (in the quick access toolbar) > API Token.
  2. On the API Token Management page, click the Create token button. The Create Token dialog box appears.
  3. Enter a Token name and Description.
  4. Click Save (The Token Created dialog box displays your generated token ID).
  5. Download the token ID and secret key or view the secret key.
    Note: If you close this dialog box before downloading or copying the secret key, you cannot retrieve it later.

Download the Token ID and Secret Key

  1. Click Download Token.
  2. Save the .token file.
  3. Use a text editor to open and view the file.
  4. To view the secret key:
