So, if you have converted from Splunk's built-in authentication system to LDAP, you might need to delete users from Splunk's built-in system to ensure that you're using LDAP credentials. This is only necessary if usernames are the same in both systems. </CODE></PRE> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:57:42 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/user-management/m-p/52885#M1750 Damien_Dallimor 2012-01-18T01:57:42Z
