Hi @Bisho-Fouad ,

you culd manage Cluster Manager and Deployment Server via CLI: it isn't so easy but it's possible!

But anyway you need an admin user because every CLI command requires an authentication.

Hi gcusello
already have admin user privileges, but I'm having trouble logging in with my admin account, even though I've added it to the cluster master twice and verified it with CLI commands.

Hi @Bisho-Fouad ,

which kind of troubles?

Have you your login page?

is your account a local or LDAP account?

If local, you have only to remember the password, if LDAP, check the integration entering with a ocal account.

Ciao.

Hi @Bisho-Fouad ,

every Splunk system can have two kinds of users:

  • local users: manually created on the system,
  • users from the external authentication system: they depends on the Auth system.

At least, every Splunk system has a local users usually called "admin", that's created at the installation moment.

Did you tried using this admin account?

It seems that in this system you have only the admin user and not other ones.

Ciao.

Hi @Bisho-Fouad ,

if you're using a wrong password, you have a different message.

I suppose that there's something strange in your installation.

In generai I'd hint to reinstall the system, but the ya re Cluster Manager an Deployment Server, so it isn't possible!

Open a case to Splunk Support, it's the best solution!

Ciao.

Hi @Bisho-Fouad ,

as I said,it's a strange message.

For this reason I hinted to open a case to Splunk Support also because these are two important nodes in your infrastructure.

Ciao.

Hi, not answering a question since you didn't ask one, but it seems like you're asking if you can set-up a user if you cannot reach the GUI on either the CM or DS in a distributed cluster?

If so, you might start here:

Hi JohnEGones.

I already have admin user, and is used it to login many times before, but I'm having trouble logging in with my admin account, even though I've added it to the cluster master twice and verified it with CLI commands.

any recommendations ?
