Credentials not accepted for port 8089

tmontney — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 22:46:10 GMT

For instance when trying to access https://mypc:8089/services/apps/local/myapp?refresh=true my credentials aren't being accepted. I'm doing this as the admin account created at setup, and can sign in to the web console fine. Splunk is running on my local machine. I have no issues with two other servers Splunk's installed on, one of which uses a self-signed certificate (like my machine).

Hi
Are you sure that there is “built in” admin account as splunk didn’t create it anymore by default. You could check if there is admin user on Splunk’s password file and if not then here https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-is-new-Splunk-admin-password/m-p/502916 is instructions how to add it.

The account I created during setup is named "admin". It's the same one I use to logon to the web console. I've also created another user with admin role, same result.

Did this works?

curl -vk -u <your user>:<your password> https://mypc:8089/services/apps/local/myapp?refresh=true

And what you will get to internal logs (splunkd_access, splunkd)?

Unauthorized from curl. Nothing generated from these logs

splunkd_access.log

This seems to work, for whatever reason:

splunk  _internal call /services/apps/local/myapp/_reload -auth admin:mypassword
