The first directory hierarchy brings over shared objects and the second brings over private objects. Additionally you should configure authentication to yield the same set of users.</P> Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:13:14 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15096#M218 Stephen_Sorkin 2010-06-09T00:13:14Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15097#M219 <P>Thanks, Stephen!</P> <P>I just talked to Mick about how to copy the authentication too. He mentioned that all I need is copying etc/passwd and etc/auth/splunk.secret.</P> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 01:52:34 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15097#M219 jiuan 2010-06-10T01:52:34Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15098#M220 <P>hmmm..... got this error:</P> <P>ERROR SSLCommon - Can't read key file /home/a478377/workspace/splunk/etc/auth/server.pem</P> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 02:48:31 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15098#M220 jiuan 2010-06-10T02:48:31Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15099#M221 <P>I got that SSL error at first also.

If you copied one from another server the hash no longer works. You need to re-enter the password in the appropriate conf files and let Splunk re-encrypt it.</P> Mon, 04 Aug 2014 19:12:33 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15100#M222 starcher 2014-08-04T19:12:33Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15101#M223 <P>You have to copy also the <CODE>$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/authorize.conf</CODE> file if you have one.</P> Fri, 11 Sep 2015 08:12:28 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15101#M223 marco_sulla 2015-09-11T08:12:28Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15102#M224 <P>what do you mean in the appropriate conf files?</P> Thu, 27 Sep 2018 05:10:37 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-to-copy-all-the-users-from-one-existing-server-to-the-new/m-p/15102#M224 ridwanahmed 2018-09-27T05:10:37Z
