Hi all,

Is there a way to push authentication.conf alone to Search Heads from Deployment Manager ?

Please guide me

Sure. At least I'm not aware of any caveats with dealing with authenticaton.conf in a deployment architecture. Just create an app that holds just your authentication.conf, then deploy that app to your search heads.

It's a bit more involved than just issuing a single command. You'd have to create the app directory with the appropriate files in the deployment-apps folder, then change your serverclass.conf to define which systems should have the app, then reload the deploy-server so that the app is deployed to the systems.
