UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on both Windows and Linux. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you’ve already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn’t on the list.

Requirements

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, or Linux.

Internet access for downloading a distribution to install, or a pre-downloaded ISO file

Features

UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive, or it can make a “frugal install” on your local hard disk if you don’t have a USB drive. It loads distributions either by downloading a ISO (CD image) files for you, or by using an ISO file you’ve already downloaded.

If your LDAP server requires your own CA for SSL use, follow these instructions to import it.

[edit]Import your CA

To configure Splunk’s LDAPS to work with your own CA, follow these steps:

1. Export your root CA cert in Base-64 encoded X.509 format.

2. Add these lines to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/openldap/ldap.conf making sure that the path represents the actual path to the file/directory:

TLS_CACERT /opt/splunk/etc/openldap/certs/$YOUR_CERT_NAME
TLS_CACERTDIR /opt/splunk/etc/openldap/certs

In Windows, make sure to use a path in the following format with quotes if there are any spaces in the pathname:

TLS_CACERT "D:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\openldap\certs\$YOUR_CERT_NAME"
TLS_CACERTDIR "D:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\openldap\certs"

3. Create the directory $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/openldap/certs.

4. Place the exported CA cert at $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/openldap/certs/$YOUR_CERT_NAME.

5. Restart Splunk.

6. In Splunk Web, navigate to Manager > Authentication method.

  • Click Reload Authentication Configuration at the bottom of the page.

7. You can now map the designated AD groups to the respective roles in Splunk.
