title: I need to authenticate to Splunk ONLY with apache2
body: <p>Good afternoon everyone and first of all thank you very much for giving me a few minutes.
  It turns out that we are using Splunk Free in a laboratory, which does not allow any type of authentication, which, even though it is a laboratory is not something that we approve and we are calm about it, I decided to implement Apache2 authentication for Splunk ...
  First I want to perform the tests in a simple way, but then I would like to perform the authentication with LDAP, but for now I am stuck simply with the way to configure this, I would very much like if you could help me, I have done different tests but nothing, even trying to modify in ports.conf so that it listens for the port that the connection to Splunk is made, for the 8000 but of course, being assigned to Splunk it does not allow me to restart the service.
  Greetings and thanks in advance to all.!</p>
