Sure... When you do group mapping, map them to groups that don't have the domain admins in them. I have a separate OU=Groups that has "Splunk Users, Splunk Admins, Splunk Power Users" as group names, and specific users…

I want to give LDAP access to my splunk servcie but I don't want the LDAP users to have admin capabilitys in Splunk. Can I keep the domain admins out of Splunk if I have LDAP authentication???

Using the websphere_trlog_sys* source types
Splunk has graciously included the websphere_trlog_sysout and websphere_trlog_syserr source types out of the box. They seem to handle the log entries very well.
However, due to the way IBM writes out these logs when they get rolled, you will also need to include the following line in your inputs.conf for your WAS logs:
crcSalt = <SOURCE>
Otherwise, Splunk will think it has already processed the log and ignore the new ones WebSphere AppServer creates. The Splunk docs describe the crcSalt option in more detail.
