The Integration of SPLUNK and zFLEX SDS LDAP is real.

OH YES....SPLUNK can be used with LDAP (zFlex Online LDAP) to handle the ACCESS And AUTHENTICATION of ACCOUNTS!!!
Splunk is a software platform to search, analyze and visualize the machine-generated data gathered from the websites, applications, sensors, devices etc. which make up your IT infrastructure and business.
LDAP stands for "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol". This is an open source, vendor-neutral, industry standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol network.
But IBM has it's own version called SDS (Security Directory Server). The older version was TDS (Tivoli Directory Server).
Our zFlex LDAP can be used to help you quickly setup LDAP authentication and standard protocol using our Bootstrap zFLEX framework which is using IBM's SDS!
zFlex offers a FREE to use ONLINE LDAP. August Schell used our Offering for their Splunk access setup.
