Splunk SPLK-3003 Exam - Topic 4 Question 53 Discussion

Actual exam question for Splunk's SPLK-3003 exam

Question #: 53
Topic #: 4

A working search head cluster has been set up and used for 6 months with just the native/local Splunk user authentication method. In order to integrate the search heads with an external Active Directory server using LDAP, which of the following statements represents the most appropriate method to deploy the configuration to the servers?

AConfigure the integration in a base configuration app located in shcluster-apps directory on the search head deployer, then deploy the configuration to the search heads using the splunk apply shcluster- bundle command.

BLog onto each search using a command line utility. Modify the authentication.conf and
authorize.conf files in a base configuration app to configure the integration.

CConfigure the LDAP integration on one Search Head using the Settings > Access Controls > Authentication Method and Settings > Access Controls > Roles Splunk UI menus. The configuration setting will replicate to the other nodes in the search head cluster eliminating the need to do this on the other search heads.

DOn each search head, login and configure the LDAP integration using the Settings > Access Controls > Authentication Method and Settings > Access Controls > Roles Splunk UI menus.

I’m not sure about C, can it really replicate like that?

D is just a hassle, better to use A for sure.

Wait, C says it replicates? That sounds too easy!

I disagree, B seems more straightforward to me.

A is definitely the way to go for deployment.

I feel like option D is probably not the right choice since it requires manual configuration on each search head, which seems tedious.

I recall a similar question where we had to modify configuration files directly, but I can't remember if that was the best practice. Was it option B?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option C might be correct since it mentions replication across the cluster, which seems efficient.

I think option A sounds familiar; I remember we practiced deploying configurations using the search head deployer in class.

I've got this! The Palo Alto Networks platform approach offers clear benefits in terms of reducing manual effort, improving incident response, and delivering scalable cloud security. I'm confident I can select the three key benefits here.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I know REST is different from SOAP, so A is definitely not correct. I'm leaning towards C, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe I'll make a note to review the key principles of REST before moving on.
