We are having LDAP enabled for user management. I add user id in authentication.conf. then run the command splunk reload deploy-server. This command pushes authentication.conf to all pooled Search Head.
How ever users are not able to login.
Only after running 'splunk reload auth' in each SearchHead, user is able to login.
why should i run reload auth in every search head ? Is there any alternative ?
I'm seeing the below note in the link http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/admin/SetupuserauthenticationwithLDAP
but i will have to reload auth when i add new users. Else they are not able to login.
Should i make some other changes?
Note: Splunk automatically checks LDAP membership information when a user attempts to log into Splunk. You do not need to reload the authentication configuration when adding or removing users.
