Don,

I would recommend enabling both LDAP and Password authentication, at least long 
enough to log in under the older administrator account and promote any accounts 
created through LDAP logins (or create a temporary one to feel things out).

You can configure for both like so in config/modules/authentication.cfg

plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \
        org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPAuthentication, \
        org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication


I had thought that the LDAP bind simply replaced auth on an existing account, 
though I can see situations where configuration might cause conflicts.

If this response misses your point, please let me know.


-Jeff

Subject: [dspace-tech] LDAP Authentication

I have DSpace 5.5 with XMLUI and Mirage.  I initially set up DSpace with 
Password Authentication.  I now want to switch to LDAP Authentication.  I have 
configured the authentication config file and the ldap config file.  All 
appears good except that I now see to have zapped my own administrator account. 
 How can I get my DSpace account back to being an administrator account?  I can 
revert my DSpace back to Pasword Auth and my old Admin account works as an 
admin again.  What I need is my LDAP account to also be an admin account, so 
that I can revert back to LDAP auth and still have admin rights.

Regards,

Don.
