Hi all,
In our environment we have multiple LDAP systems. They are there due to multiple acquisitions.
Can Splunk handle multiple LDAP and Splunk native authentication simultaniously?

Yes,
You can have both Splunk Native (local) auth AND multiple LDAP schemes at the same time.

You can not have LDAP and SAML simultaneously though.

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!

Assuming you mean authentication against two different Windows Domains
or a Windows Domain and an opensource LDAP server like FreeIPA
In either case - yes.

And there is a catch , if you have same userID in multiple LDAP then user from first LDAP based on priority will have access to splunk, same userID from remaining LDAP will be ignored.
