Getting Data In

After configuring Splunk SSO with Siteminder for my application, why are REST API commands not working in Internet Explorer?

Hi All,

I have configured Splunk SSO configuration with siteminder for my application. All the siteminder configurations and splunk configurations looks fine, and I am able to access my application via siteminder URL without any error in Mozilla, but when comes to Internet explorer i am not able to see any data in the drop-downs.

My drop-downs will use the REST API interface commands to list different roles based on the user login, but this is not working in internet explorer. By the way, the Splunk version I am using is 6.2.2 and Internet explorer version is 11.

REST API command which is not in working in I.E alone is

| rest /services/authentication/current-context | table username,roles 

Is there any configuration or cache issue with internet explorer? The same is working fine in Mozilla.

Any help on the above scenario would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rakesh.

Issue appears to be with site-minder sending an unsupported case for "Content-Type". Site-minder sends "Content-type' with small "t" and this was not supported by XHR requests being made by Splunk. In version 6.2.6 we have added support for this.
