Access to LDAP with active directory

Hi There,

To answer your Queries, two options are possible solution in getting your required values or information thru Active Directory to LDAP server;

a. Using command line ldifede. This command in your Windows 2008 is equivalent of ldapsearch and basically allows you to get entry for yourself and a group you want to search for certificate validation. These two entries should allow you to come up with an authentication.conf that will permit Splunk to authenticate users. For more info; https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Bb727091.aspx

 

b. Using GUI utility Active Directory Explorer.  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/adexplorer .

This utility will serve you like a Wizard in your Windows Explorer view to your Active Directory or LDAP Configuration. "LDP" and "ADSIEDIT.MSC" build in function that permits to have a GUI view of Active Directory. Run them from "Start–> Run" in Windows on your AD Server.

For mapping purposes you need to identify the ff:

It depends how comfortable you are in using this solution. Which is way more practical it’s your choice preferably.

Best Regards,
