PS: I´m trying login_form and login_verify examples.

My IIS: 127.0.0.1:8080
My Splunk: 127.0.0.1:8089 (In a Virtual Machine with port redirect)

My Chrome console when I submit in login_form.

 POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/proxy/services/auth/login?output_mode=json 404 (Not Found)
login_form.html:84 Login failed:  Object {response: Object, status: 404, data: "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Stric…↵ </fieldset> ↵</div> ↵</div> ↵</body> ↵</html> ↵", error: "Not Found"}
