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???

Splunk Ninja - Basic Training: Splunk & LDAP Authentication
In this long form video, I discuss how to setup Splunk to authenticate with your LDAP directory. An extensive overview of each component of the directory relevant to Splunk authentication is covered, including mapping Roles in Splunk to Groups in LDAP.
720p with Fullscreen Toggle is here: http://blip.tv/file/2878148. This video is downloadable as well.

Note: Splunk loads up the list of users in your directory only upon restart, or if you manually reload the authentication config from the LDAP settings. If you add a new user to your directory, you'll find you can't login right away until the list of users is updated. Irritating. Slightly.
Amrit mentions how you can script the reload of auth on a periodic basis (with cron, perhaps) in his blog post here:

Rumor has it this issue will be fixed in 2010.

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 assigned to them. If you're not in one of those groups--you ain't gettin' in yo!.
