I am trying to deploy SH cluster, but when I run below command 

 

./splunk init shcluster-config -auth <username>:<password> -mgmt_uri <URI>:<management_port> -replication_port <replication_port> -replication_factor <n> -conf_deploy_fetch_url <URL>:<management_port> -secret <security_key> -shcluster_label <label>

 

But I am getting below error

WARNING: Server Certificate Hostname Validation is disabled. Please see server.conf/[sslConfig]/cliVerifyServerName for details.
Login failed

but when I do below config 


I get below error

[sslConfig]

cliVerifyServerName = true
sslVerifyServerCert = true

ERROR: certificate validation: self signed certificate in certificate chain
Couldn't complete HTTP request: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed

Ignore that warning (it's just a warning).  The important part is "Login failed", which means you used the wrong credentials.
