I create a user manually and specify LDAP authentication, but that choice is apparently ignored, and the user is given LAMS Database authentication instead.

Ok.

I don't thing this is actually a bad thing though as you are creating locally in LAMS.

If LAMS is configured to use LDAP authentication by default, then you don't even need to create the user at all.

The user will attempt to login for the first time in LAMS and if the user is valid, LAMS will query LDAP to get all the necessary details and generate the user on the fly (with LDAP as his/her authentication method).

Does this make sense?

Thanks,

Ernie

I understand what you are saying, but I want to have the new user assigned to a group before they log in for the first time...I don't see how that can happen if their account doesn't exist before they try to log in for the first time.

Maybe this problem would be solved if we set LDAP as the default auth method, but I don't see where to do that....
