I am having an issue with the Splunk_TA_nessus app locking the service account in Security Center. I am on version 5.1.3. I can log into Secuirty Center with the service account with out issues, so I know the password is good.

Sometimes I answer my own questions.. Found the app also installed on a dev box with bad password!
