How to modify roles for an LDAP group with the REST API?

Hi guys,

Sorry to bother you these days, but it's not so easy work with the REST API without some examples.
Now I need to change roles for an LDAP group: no example, no documentation at all.

Can someone please help me?

I know that the end point is

https://localhost:8089/services/configs/conf-authentication/LDP_PRD

but at this end point, no roles are visible. How can I modify roles for a certain LDAP group?

Thanks and regards.

Hi, @maurelio79,
I might suggest this previous Answers post as a start:
https://answers.splunk.com/answers/189726/determine-which-ldap-groups-are-mapped-to-roles-wi.html

This option involves using the Settings page, and not the REST API.

For the REST API option, here's a link to our REST API documentation on /configs/conf-{file}/{stanza}:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.0/RESTREF/RESTconf#POST_configs.2Fconf-.7Bfile.7D.2F...

If you are using a POST to this endpoint, you might want to double-check that you are passing in the correct stanza name for the setting you want to adjust in authentication.conf. See also:

All best,
