I want to download the trial version of Splunk Enterprise. Managed to register it. Whenever I try to login to Splunk.com, it keep showing 403 error. I tried with both Chrome and Firefox, same error. Both browser are latest version. I already tried following
When I clicked on Login, it will redirect to following and shown 403 error
https://www.splunk.com/saml/login?module=nav&redirecturl=https://www.splunk.com/
Windows 11 (updated with latest MS patches) and home network
- rebooted the laptop and router
- Clear cache of browsers
- Added www.splunk.com to trusted zone
- Disabled Windows Firewall
- Disabled AV
Anything else I should be checking?
Generally speaking the 403 error is on the server side. You say you are trying to download a trial, and that you "Managed to register it. " I don't know what that latter means? If it's a trial, you download it, install it and it just works. They're *all* trials until you put in a real license key (or connect it to your license master).[1]
You could try
a) just logging into a different place in Splunk, like docs.splunk.com. I think once you are logged in there you can then go back to splunk.com and see if it all still works.
b) Have you tried just creating a new account and seeing if you can download it then? I'm not aware of any actual process to this, you just "create new account" and fill in a few pieces of information then off to the downloads you go.
Anyway, hope one of these gets you working again!
[1] LOL, this has actually been a complaint of mine for a decade now. I don't want to download a trial and convert it, I want to feel like I'm downloading the actual paid-for version that $company owned. But it's just words, so 'whatever'. 🙂
