Log into from different browsers using different user ids

gudavasr — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 11:48:14 GMT

I would login using two different logins in two different browsers.
but if I am logged in one browser..it autmatically logs me into other browser using same user id.
I tried this
enable_autocomplete_login = False
but no luck..

How do I do this?

Thank you.

What different browsers are you using? If you're logging in as a user through browser 1 and after that also automatically logged in as that user in browser 2, that can only mean that browser 1 and 2 share the same cookie jar. If that is the case, this is no Splunk issue.

I don't want to be automatically logged into browser 2. Is that possible?
I mean, can splunk always prompt for username even if it is logged in on some other browser or 2 instances of same browser?

Thank You.

If it's just 2 windows of the same browser, running in the same environment, there is no way for Splunk (or any other web app for that matter) to determine the difference.

If you're talking about 2 completely different browsers, then a session in one browser would not be accessible to the other. So if you're seeing behaviour like that, I doubt you're really using different browsers.

You would need to use two different browsers (i.e. Internet Explorer and Firefox/Chrome/Safari), not two instances of the same browser (two Internet Explorer windows).
