Hi

Cannot communicate with task server, please check your settings.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <response> <messages> <msg type="WARN">insufficient permission to access this resource</msg> </messages> </response>
 
 
splunk db version: 3.9.0
splunk version: 8.5
 
Any idea?

After several workaround find solution.

Issue related to the default ldap role. When i set permission on splunkdb app automatically override by default user role.

Finally add dbuser role to the default role of ldap users and issue fixed.

Hi there,

Please check, verify you have configured the roles and permissions for the users - details can be found here https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.9.0/DeployDBX/Configuresecurityandaccesscontrols

hope that helps ...

cheers, MuS
