@NovSeek,

You can try follwoing

curl -k -c cookies3.txt -L -u knox_user:knoxpass https://ccycloud-1.nightly-cm-my.root.comops.site:8443/gateway/homepage/knoxtoken/api/v1/token  | jq -r '.access_token' > knox-access-token.txt

  Knox token will be stored in knox-access-token.txt

@NovSeek I believe the sample above is just demonstrating use of API call.  You should be able to complete the same outcome in any other manner (e.g. not curl to a text file) programaticallly against the CM/Knox api.   

@NovSeek Has the reply helped resolve your issue? If so, please mark the appropriate reply as the solution, as it will make it easier for others to find the answer in the future. If you are still experiencing the issue, can you provide more information? Thanks.

Here is another way...
