Hi @AL3Z,

this doesn't seem to be a Splunk message, it seems a CyberArk (or another PAM system) message.

I don't think that you can find the solution here.

which Splunk Server are you trying to access?

Ciao.

Hi @AL3Z,

what tool are you using?

I use MobaXTerm that gives me both an SSH terminal and a WinScp session.

So I upload the file with the winscp function, the I change the owner from the account I used to splunk or root and the I copied it in the Splunk folder.

Ciao.
