Infoblox delivers essential technology to enable customers to manage, control, and optimize DNS, DHCP, IPAM (DDI). Infoblox’s patented Grid™ technology helps businesses automate complex network control functions to reduce costs and increase security and uptime – building bulletproof, scalable, and efficient networks.

First, get an Infoblox API key

  1. Login to your Infoblox account

  2. Click on the user menu and then click "User Profile"


  3. Click "User API Keys" and then click "Create"

  4. Name the API key, choose an expiration date, and click "Save & Close"


  5. Copy the API Key to a text editor and click "Close"


Lastly, create an Infoblox credential in Tines

InfoBlox BloxOne connect flow (recommended):

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "InfoBlox BloxOne" and follow the prompts to connect.

Manual credential creation

This method is not recommended as the InfoBlox BloxOne connect flow creates this credential with much less complexity. However, if you need to create this credential set manually, see the following steps below:

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"

  4. Input the values for the Infoblox credential

    1. Name: Infoblox BloxOne

    2. Description: Optional

    3. Value: Your API key

    4. Domains: csp.infoblox.com

    5. Access: What other teams can also use the API

  5. Click "Save"
