It's possible that you don't have a working DNS server, or that your firewall might be blocking access to ports 8089 and 8000. Make sure both those ports are open. If you can provide some more information about your environment, the community here might be able to give you better answers.

If you tail -f splunkd.log while you attempt to login, do you see any errors or warnings?

The file you want to look at is located in %SPLUNK_HOME%\var\log\splunk\splunkd.log. It's a simple text file, so you can open it with any text editor.

If you have purchased a license, I would suggest that you open a support case and attach a splunk diag to it.

I had the same problem; I assume someone in my AD team changed something but I had to change the following to get it working again:

Manager » Access controls » Authentication method » LDAP strategies » ActiveDirectory Help | About

Uncheck: Enable referrals with anonymous bind only

This tip helped immensely. Strange issue, very difficult to pick up. I did not find any entry in the splunkd.log that pointed me to this, how did you find it?

If there's nothing in the logs, make sure splunkd is running.

Cheers,
