Question 8
A working search head cluster has been set up and used for 6 months with just the native/local Splunk user authentication method. In order to integrate the search heads with an external Active Directory server using LDAP, which of the following statements represents the most appropriate method to deploy the configuration to the servers?
Configure the integration in a base configuration app located in shcluster-apps directory on the search head deployer, then deploy the configuration to the search heads using the splunk apply shcluster-bundle command.
Log onto each search using a command line utility. Modify the authentication.conf and authorize.conf files in a base configuration app to configure the integration.
Configure the LDAP integration on one Search Head using the Settings > Access Controls > Authentication Method and Settings > Access Controls > Roles Splunk UI menus. The configuration setting will replicate to the other nodes in the search head cluster eliminating the need to do this on the other search heads.
On each search head, login and configure the LDAP integration using the Settings > Access Controls > Authentication Method and Settings > Access Controls > Roles Splunk UI menus.
