Why can't I bump Splunk using https:///en-US/_bump and get error message "Forbidden"?

I am trying to bump a local Splunk instance using : https:///en-US/_bump
but I receive the following:

<response> <messages> <msg type="ERROR">Forbidden</msg> </messages> </response>

This looks like an authentication/authorization error.
I am running Splunk 6.4 (Free license)

What am I doing wrong?

The free license supports neither _bump nor debug/refresh. You'll have to restart your server, as you already noted.

Note that you also have to login before you attempt a successful bump.

  • try to got to en-US/info an hit the "Static resource cache control" - same error?
  • try to hit (on the same page ) "EAI object refresh"

same results for

AND
try to hit (on the same page ) "EAI object refresh"

Since this is the free version, it doesnt support user accounts or roles, so I can't explicitly add myself to a splunk admin role.
