Hello,

To see the decrypted pass4SymmKey, run:
splunk show-decrypted --value ''

In the ' ' your put your Crypted Key

server.conf
[clustering]
mode = master
pass4SymmKey = $7$7idnRXKYCFTzMKVz+UosqvnjM8mod6DTZ09SJ7pk7wtL6yLGAo/3+wRN

under splunk/bin
splunker@master:/opt/splunk/bin$ ./splunk show-decrypted --value '$7$7idnRXKYCFTzMKVz+UosqvnjM8mod6DTZ09SJ7pk7wtL6yLGAo/3+wRN'

and then the CLI should show u the decrypted key.

Hope this will do it 🙂

I tried that and given:
Command error: 'show-decrypted' is not a valid command. Please run 'splunk help' to see the valid commands.
