https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/AD-Account-for-domain-access/m-p/138415#M11740 <P>Looking to see if I can configure Splunk to use 1 AD account where that account (that domain) has AD trusts with other domains I need to pull information from? If I can does it matter if the account is in a child domain querying the parent domain? Or do I need a account in each domain and or forest?</P> Wed, 05 Feb 2014 16:35:09 GMT jpodboy 2014-02-05T16:35:09Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/AD-Account-for-domain-access/m-p/138415#M11740 <P>Looking to see if I can configure Splunk to use 1 AD account where that account (that domain) has AD trusts with other domains I need to pull information from?

To check you can attempt to logon to a system in the parent domain with the credentials from the child domain. If you're successful, then you're all set. </P> <P>Example. Parent domain is DomainA and Child domain is DomainC. Attempt to logon to a system in DomainA with the following credential format: <CODE>DomainC\username</CODE>.</P> Wed, 05 Feb 2014 16:41:52 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/AD-Account-for-domain-access/m-p/138416#M11741 lukejadamec 2014-02-05T16:41:52Z
