Configure ProxySSO
Before you configure Splunk Enterprise, configure your proxy server so that it acts as a proxy for Splunk Web, prompts user for credentials, and passes user identity and groups to Splunk Web through HTTP headers:
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
....
ProxyPass / http://mysplunkhost:8000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://mysplunkhost:8000/
....
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://<ldap-server>:<ldap-port>/OU=IT Department,DC=com?sn,sAMAccountName?"
....
RequestHeader set Remote_User %{AUTHENTICATE_sn}e
RequestHeader set Remote_Groups %{AUTHENTICATE_sAMAccountName}e
....
Configure Splunk Enterprise
1. Configure web.conf
[settings] SSOMode = strict trustedIP = 10.1.1.2 remoteUser = Remote_User remoteGroups = Remote_Groups remoteGroupsQuoted = true allowSsoWithoutChangingServerConf = 1
2. Restart Splunk.
3. In authentication.conf configure the [authentication] stanza:
[authentication] authType = ProxySSO authSettings = my_proxy
4. Map groups to Splunk roles in the roleMap_proxySSO stanza.
[roleMap_proxySSO] admin = IT operational admin splunk-system-role = IT sub-admin
5. Configure the [my_proxy] stanza for additional settings. If a group mapping is not found, the role configured in defaultRoleIfMissing is assigned:
[my_proxy] defaultRoleIfMissing = user
6. Reload authentication to enable your changes.
