Error when configuring credentials in Qumulo App

[ejwade]

After installing Qumulo Cluster Management on my standalone Splunk server, went to Setup to enter the hostname, port, and credentials. After entering the information and hitting Save, I received the following error:

Splunk search head I receiEncountered the following error while trying to update: Error while posting to url=/servicesNS/nobody/qumulo_splunk_app/storage/passwords/

I'm looking to configure this in the .conf as a workaround. Anyone encounter this or have a suggestion?

I figured it out. If you enter credentials incorrectly, you need to "rm ../local/passwords.conf" in the qumulo app because it can't overwrite existing credentials of the same username.
