First I installed using the .deb package. After install I went to the default GUI page and put in the initial password of "changeme". After typing in the change password fields I get "Server error". I reload the page and put in my new password and get invalid password. I put in "changeme" and get "Your session has expired. Log in to return to the system."
I searched through answers to other questions and tried these: Clearing cache and restarting the client machine Tried running this command both before and after trying to change the password in the GUI (./splunk edit user admin -password newpassword -auth admin:changeme)
Some noted issues with the .deb package and recommended using the .tar to install. I've tried this also, I'm currently installed using this.
I didn't have this problem when I installed it on Red Hat, only Ubuntu.
