splunk cli command -token argument not working on windows

[cman_sc]

Hello Folks

I have a scripted input using -passAuth in my inputs.conf.

However i've been testing the script on a *nix vm and it worked fine. (splunk 8.1).

To double check the passAuth variable i printed it out to a file, copied the token and ran the following:

splunk backup kvstore -token $token_from_scripted_input

Or any command that requires auth and it worked like a charm.

Doing the same now on windows and splunk 7.3.3 does not work at all as splunk keeps asking for username/pw when im using the -token option.

Any ideas?

As I understand the Release Notes, version 7.3.3 does not support tokens in CLI commands, just REST calls.
