I have few questions regarding to user-seed.conf
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/User-seedconf
It is only applied on the first run - or if $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd
is missing.
You can put any user you want in it, at any time.
If the first-run password for admin
is not set here, the first-run password for admin
will be changeme
.
