It is <STRONG>not</STRONG> sufficient to just use the splunk OS user to run the command.</P> <P>In case of "splunk enable maintenance-mode" you are required to authenticate with an admin account. </P> Wed, 05 Jun 2019 06:46:08 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Splunk-Maintenance-mode-Password/m-p/404252#M9763 effem 2019-06-05T06:46:08Z
