How can i run splunk cmds (that require me to authenticate) from cmd line using my AD account - i have tried several things but have been unsuccessful so far. The workround i have is to use a local account which works fine.

SAML credentials are in the format : DOMAIN\username

Tried:

DOMAIN\username
username
DOMAIN\\username
