Issue with the splunk reload deploy-server

[smith_]

Hello,

Upon attempting to execute the command $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk reload deploy-server following the update of app inputs, a warning message is generated, which states:

"Could not look up HOME variable. Auth tokens cannot be cached.
WARNING: Server Certificate Hostname Validation is disabled. Please see server.conf/[sslConfig]/cliVerifyServerName for details.
Reloading serverclass(es). "

Could you please suggest a solution to address this problem, as the changes do not appear to be taking effect.

Thanks

A couple of things:

- What user are you running this command as, and what user is Splunk installed as?

- Are you in a bash?  If you don't quote your credentials correctly then they won't get expanded:
