https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Log-in-out-of-splunk/m-p/18112#M588 <P>Is it changed in version 5? So can we do simple user authentication with Splunk Free out of the box?</P> Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:49:46 GMT rudijager 2012-11-01T08:49:46Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Log-in-out-of-splunk/m-p/18110#M586 <P>Hello,</P> <P>I have just installed Splunk with a Free license. It appears to automatically log me in, and doesn't prompt me for a password. I don't see a logout button, either. Is there any security what-so-ever in the free version, or do I need to completely lock it down at the firewall level by IP address?</P> Tue, 28 Dec 2010 12:48:54 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Log-in-out-of-splunk/m-p/18110#M586 Krishopper 2010-12-28T12:48:54Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Log-in-out-of-splunk/m-p/18111#M587 <P>Nope, Splunk Free doesn't come with authentication. On the other hand, firewall filtering != &amp;&amp; &lt; authentication. </P> <P>The most common approach if you have no $$$ but want 500 MB/day AND authentication is to put Splunk Free behind a proxy such as Apache. There are a few blog posts and how-to's that a google search will reveal to you.</P> Tue, 28 Dec 2010 13:24:51 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Log-in-out-of-splunk/m-p/18111#M587 araitz 2010-12-28T13:24:51Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Log-in-out-of-splunk/m-p/18112#M588 <P>Is it changed in version 5?

Even for a free version this should be expected with the type of data that is collected by Splunk. I can understand forgoing multiple user support for a free version though.</P> Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:05:48 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Log-in-out-of-splunk/m-p/18113#M589 Petaris 2013-10-01T15:05:48Z
