(You'd have to know the password, which ideally isn't the default <CODE>changeme</CODE>) </P> <P>Alternatively if you have sufficient access to the machine running Splunk, you can manually reconfigure <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/Admin/authenticationconf">authentication.conf</A> to use LDAP settings as described <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/Security/ConfigureLDAPwithconfigurationfiles">in the security manual</A> and restart Splunk for your changes to take effect.</P> Wed, 17 Jun 2015 12:12:33 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Accidentally-changed-the-authentication-method-from-LDAP-to/m-p/165636#M4915 acharlieh 2015-06-17T12:12:33Z
