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 ________________________________________ From: dspace-tech@googlegroups.com <dspace-tech@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Donald Bynum <byn...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2016 1:25 PM To: DSpace Technical Support 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.
