Using Active Directory

I am not much of a Windows person (usually Linux) but I was asked if Splunk can use Active Directory as opposed to creating new user ids and passwords, and if so, how?

Here is the manual for that,
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/SetupuserauthenticationwithLDAP

You can use AD/LDAP to authenticate, therefore have your users defined in AD.
in the process you will define which AD group is linked to which Splunk role.
