What is the configuration file responsible for LDAP configuration in Splunk?

Users.conf
Kerberos.conf
Authorize.conf
Authentication.conf

The correct answer is: Authentication.conf

The configuration file responsible for LDAP configuration in Splunk is Authentication.conf. This file is specifically designed to manage authentication methods and settings within Splunk, including configurations related to LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). By utilizing the Authentication.conf file, administrators can define parameters for connecting to LDAP directories, such as the LDAP server address, connection settings, and user group mappings. This enables Splunk to authenticate users against an LDAP directory, thus allowing organizations to integrate their existing user management systems with Splunk. Other related configuration files, while important for different functionalities, do not serve the same purpose. Users.conf is used primarily for managing user roles and capabilities. Kerberos.conf handles Kerberos authentication settings, and Authorize.conf governs role-based access control, including user permissions. None of these are specifically tailored for LDAP configurations, which is why Authentication.conf is the correct choice for this question.
