Log in to the Splunk SOAR (On-premises) web interface

Perform the following tasks to log in to the Splunk SOAR (On-premises) web interface after installation is complete.

  1. Using a web browser, go to the IP address you assigned to Splunk SOAR (On-premises).

  2. Log in using the default credentials. Use soar_local_admin as the username and password as the password. If you installed Splunk SOAR (On-premises) from the AWS Marketplace, use soar_local_admin as the username and the full AWS instance ID as the password.

    2. Click the Change Password tab.
    3. Type the current password.
