Explanation

RADIUS authentication requires scripting in Splunk. Splunk does not have a native built-in RADIUS connector, so RADIUS must be implemented via a scripted authentication framework - you write or use a script that Splunk calls to validate credentials against a RADIUS server. The script is configured in authentication.conf under a scripted authentication stanza. In contrast, LDAP (B) has native built-in support configurable directly in Splunk Web or authentication.conf without scripting. SAML (C) has built-in IdP integration support. ADFS (A) is typically used as a SAML Identity Provider and is supported through Splunk's native SAML configuration. RADIUS is the only option here that mandates a custom script.
