We've given the main Splunk local user (i.e. the user name that owns the Splunk processes) access to the database.</P> <P>There doesn't appear to be an option in DB Connect to just run as the default Splunk user though. I'm forced to supply some username/password to log into the database. Is there a way to get Splunk DB connect to just run as the Splunk local user?</P> <P>Thanks!</P> Mon, 08 Sep 2014 21:17:04 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-run-DB-Connect-as-Splunk-local-user/m-p/116275#M7599 bruceclarke 2014-09-08T21:17:04Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-run-DB-Connect-as-Splunk-local-user/m-p/116276#M7600 <P>Hi @bruceclarke</P> <P>Just fyi, I deleted your other post you put up 5 minutes after this one because of duplicate content.</P> Mon, 08 Sep 2014 21:30:58 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-run-DB-Connect-as-Splunk-local-user/m-p/116276#M7600 ppablo 2014-09-08T21:30:58Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-run-DB-Connect-as-Splunk-local-user/m-p/116277#M7601 <P>I assume you're running Splunk on Windows right? As far I know DB Connect is a Java Based App and it'll require the user/pass details to connect to any database via JDBC modules...</P> Mon, 08 Sep 2014 22:35:04 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-run-DB-Connect-as-Splunk-local-user/m-p/116277#M7601 musskopf 2014-09-08T22:35:04Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-run-DB-Connect-as-Splunk-local-user/m-p/116278#M7602 <P>That is correct, there is no way to do the requested configuration at this time.</P> Tue, 09 Sep 2014 02:28:24 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-run-DB-Connect-as-Splunk-local-user/m-p/116278#M7602 jcoates_splunk 2014-09-09T02:28:24Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-run-DB-Connect-as-Splunk-local-user/m-p/116279#M7603 <P>Can't be done, per @jcoates_splunk's comment above.</P> Mon, 08 Dec 2014 22:31:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-run-DB-Connect-as-Splunk-local-user/m-p/116279#M7603 bruceclarke 2014-12-08T22:31:23Z
