Splunk Web Login Issue- Why am I getting this server error?

Bo3432 — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 15:24:39 GMT

Hello,

I have created splunk AWS Linux instance Instance and installed splunk enterprise on it. The install was successful and I am able to reach the login page for splunk web. When logging in, I get an error at the bottom of the page that says "Server Error". All of the necessary ports are open on the server. I have attached a photo of the Error and the WARN I received in the splunkd logs after each failed login attempt. Any suggestions on a fix would be highly appreciated.

Take a look at this, could be the same issue:

What does your web.conf look like? Are you using slpunk default ssl certs or your own?

Looks like something is blocking it.

I resolved the issue by creating a web.conf in local and allowing https by setting

enableSplunkWebSSL = true

Thanks for all of your input.
