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

[maurelio79]

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,
