How can I configure a different user and password other than admin to make rest end point calls to my Universal Forwader.
Current Functionality:
curl -k -u admin:changeme "https://<host>:<port>/services/receivers/simple?index=abc&source=test&sourcetype=test" -d "splunk rest test"
What I want:
curl -k -u mu_user:mypwd "https://<host>:<port>/services/receivers/simple?index=abc&source=test&sourcetype=test" -d "splunk rest test"
I tried putting this new user in authentication.conf with binddnuser and binddnpassword but it is throwing Unauthorized error.
The user must be a local account. You cannot use a SAML or LDAP account. It must be the account name and password configured when the UF was installed.
