Assuming your user and password are correct, check splunkd.log on that machine for any ldap-related errors around the time of your login attempt.
Also make sure one of your ldap groups is mapped to a splunk role.

Many things could be the issue.

  • wrong user name
  • wrong password
  • LDAP/AD/etc. connection broken
  • wrong url
  • broken network
  • etc
