Splunk 6.2: Creating Private Dashboard with dot in username fails

Hi,

I have several local accounts on our Splunk 6.2 instance.

All of our accounts with dots in the username cannot create a private dashboard but they can create public dashboards.

  • All the local accounts with dots are not able to create private dashboards (404 - Post from create is to "user.name").
  • All the local accounts with dots are able to create public dashboards (201 - Post from create is to "nobody").
  • All the local account without dots are able to create public & Private dashboards (201).

Whats the best way to get this submitted for review as a bug?

My current work-around is to re-create all the user accounts without dots in the username.

Cheers,

Louis.
