You may have logged in using a LDAP account. Make sure to use a local account when making LDAP configuration changes

I get the same error when changing password and using the local splunk admin account. We have a 2nd searchhead cluster for ES that had no issue, and all of the setting are the same.

Hi @ppblo

Sorry for the delay. I have not had time to test this solution because this problem has occurred in the customer environment.
