Go to:

Manager » Access controls » Authentication method » LDAP strategies » YourLDAP

And check the user base DN. It will depend on your AD layout. Example:

OU=YouruserOU,DC=internal,DC=splunk,DC=com

Usually I want all users from a certain AD security group. So I put:


user base filter: (objectclass=user)
user name attribute: samaccountname
real name attribute: cn
group mapping attribute: dn

And then in the group section I put:

Group Base DN: OU=Groups,OU=YouruserOU,DC=internal,DC=splunk,DC=com
static group search filter: (name=Splunk)
group name attribute: cn
static member attribute: member

These config assum there is a group name Splunk in the AD and people allowed to use splunk should be a member of this group. So you have to adapt it to your AD layout.

Are you sure you have your user base DN pointing to something that exists in your AD structure?
