I have a heavy forwarder on a Win2008 R2 server. After installing the NetApp ONTAP app, Splunk web would only take https connections. I fixed the web.conf file in that app, but Splunk web still will only take https connections. Is there another file which needs to be modified?
Thank you.
Got it. In the web GUI go to "Settings">"System Settings">"General Settings". About half way down is, "Enable SSL in Splunk Web?", select radio button "No".
Restart.
Problem solved.
Not sure why, but changing the web.conf file worked for 2 of my servers and did not work for the other 2. However, the radio button solution, above, worked.

The radio button does nothing more than change this web.conf setting... so there must have been an overruling web.conf somewhere, such as etc/ystem/local.
enableSplunkWebSSL
in web.conf is the place to look at. Use ./bin/splunk cmd btool --debug web list
to check where the key's value is coming from.
Yes, restarted Splunk. No brackets around enableSplunkWebSSL= false.
Also, cleared browser history and restarted server that Splunk is installed on.
Did you restart Splunk after the change?
Also, did you just add the square brackets in here or are they also in your conf file?
Yes. [enableSplunkWebSSL= false] in web.conf but still have to use https to connect to splunk web when launched from local machine.
