Hi Paniagacing,
I've a similar situation where I get the same error "Unable to decrypt password, please re-enter password on identity".
This usually happens when I try to create an Identity via CLI (identities.conf file). Even after restarting Splunk service the error still persists. What I noticed is that, when I check the identities.conf file after restarting Splunk service, the password provided is still in clear text. It hasn't being hashed.
So to solve it, I retype the password via Web GUI in Identities and save it.
This is quite strange.
Did you face a similar situation?
