Can I login to Splunk Light with Active Directory credentials?

[bwarholak]

Is it possible to login to Splunk Light using Active Directory credentials, or am I limited to login accounts that I create in my console?

Thanks!

Hello @bwarholak

Splunk light can only use Splunk Authentication as the limit of users is quite less.

Hello

Yes it is possible to login only if you have configured user authentication with LDAP in Splunk.

Otherwise you have to login using separate splunk login credentials that you create using console.

Let me know if this helps!

Thank you. The link you provided references Splunk Enterprise. Is it applicable to Splunk Light as well?

Yes the approach should be same.
