Launch Splunk Web
Navigate to:
http://mysplunkhost:<port>
Use whatever host and port you chose during installation.
The first time you log in to Splunk with an Enterprise license, the default login details are:
Username - admin
Password - changeme
Note: Splunk with a free license does not have access controls, so you will not be prompted for login information.
Note: Starting in Splunk version 4.1.4, you cannot access Splunk Free from a remote browser until you have edited $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/local/server.conf and set allowRemoteLogin to Always. If you are running Splunk Enterprise, remote login is disabled by default (set to requireSetPassword) for the admin user until you change the default password.
