We currently have a number of users in our Splunk environment using local authentication and LDAP was not configured at initial deployment.

OR what do you recommend?</P> Thu, 28 Jan 2021 00:28:35 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/LDAP-Authentication/m-p/537515#M12059 oylkm 2021-01-28T00:28:35Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/LDAP-Authentication/m-p/537524#M12060 <P>You can add, change, or remove LDAP authentication at any time.</P><P>The catch is the local user name must match the LDAP user names for the users to retain their knowledge objects (reports, alerts, etc.).&nbsp; The KOs will still be there, but will only be accessible by the local user name.</P><P>Public KOs (those shared at the App or Global level) can be assigned a new (LDAP) owner.&nbsp; Private KOs, however, have to be copied at the file system level, AFAIK.</P> Thu, 28 Jan 2021 01:42:13 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/LDAP-Authentication/m-p/537524#M12060 richgalloway 2021-01-28T01:42:13Z
