Hi Splunkers,
after an upgrade to the latest version we keep receiving the following standard request on authentication page at every logon (the password for admin was changed long ago):
'First time signing in?
If you've forgotten your username or password, please contact your Splunk administrator.
username admin
password changeme'
How can we fix it?

Having the SPLUNK_HOME/etc/.ui_login file on the host DOES make the banner go away (as noted in the linked articles above).
We did a bit of testing (since some of our servers had the file and others did not)...
Logging in with a LOCAL account (non-LDAP/SAML/etc) automatically generates the .ui_login file.
Once we logged in with the LOCAL account, the .ui_login file existed and the "First time signing in?..." banner was gone.
