We currently have LDAP authentication enabled, and as a result, I log into the web interface with the local user, but, not make external API calls. External API calls work just fine with and LDAP user though.</P> <P>Is there a way to fix this?</P> Fri, 10 Dec 2010 02:16:26 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-I-enable-the-external-REST-API-with-LDAP-and-Splunk/m-p/102378#M21478 noahgift 2010-12-10T02:16:26Z Re: How do I enable the external REST API with LDAP and Splunk Authentication? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-I-enable-the-external-REST-API-with-LDAP-and-Splunk/m-p/102379#M21479 <P>Please update with the version of Splunk you are running.</P> Fri, 10 Dec 2010 03:34:53 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-I-enable-the-external-REST-API-with-LDAP-and-Splunk/m-p/102379#M21479 gkanapathy 2010-12-10T03:34:53Z Re: How do I enable the external REST API with LDAP and Splunk Authentication? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-I-enable-the-external-REST-API-with-LDAP-and-Splunk/m-p/102380#M21480 <P>(spam removed)</P> Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:47:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-I-enable-the-external-REST-API-with-LDAP-and-Splunk/m-p/102380#M21480 AlexandriaLane2 2011-12-21T05:47:23Z Re: How do I enable the external REST API with LDAP and Splunk Authentication? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-I-enable-the-external-REST-API-with-LDAP-and-Splunk/m-p/102381#M21481 <P>I believe you can create a local splunk admin account for this purpose. In your User - Authentication settings you can opt to have BOTH local splunk and LDAP users enabled. </P> Wed, 21 Jan 2015 00:18:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-I-enable-the-external-REST-API-with-LDAP-and-Splunk/m-p/102381#M21481 mcronkrite 2015-01-21T00:18:43Z
