Splunk Enterprise Security Certified Analyst — Question 32

A customer wants to implement LDAP because managing local Splunk users is becoming too much of an overhead. What configuration details are needed from the customer to implement LDAP authentication?

Answer options

• A. API: Python script with PAM/RADIUS details.
• B. LDAP server: port, bind user credentials, path/to/groups, path/to/user.
• C. LDAP server: port, bind user credentials, base DN for groups, base DN for users.
• D. LDAP REST details, base DN for groups, base DN for users.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is right because it specifies the necessary configuration for LDAP authentication, including the port, bind user credentials, and base DNs for both groups and users. Options A and B contain incorrect or incomplete details for LDAP setup, while option D mentions LDAP REST which is not applicable for standard LDAP authentication configurations.
