Hello,

we are using SSO with LDAP based users for authentication on our search heads. On our search head; how do we search or track for users logging in via SSO?

cheers

Hi kaddupa1,

since you are using LDAP based users and SSO for authentication, user logins are not handled by Splunk and therefore you will not find any of the SSO / LDAP user logins in the audit.log.

But you can use the REST end point /services/authentication/httpauth-tokens on your search head like this

| rest /services/authentication/httpauth-tokens splunk_server=local  

and you will get a list of users which were or still are connect over SSO / LDAP.

Setting this up as saved search with summary indexing will give you the abillity to gether historical events as well.

hope this helps...

cheers,
MuS
