Hi!

On the other hand I'm not shure that this is sensible,
especially for the admin account. I felt that this should
always allow for local login without requiring external
systems to answer properly. That's why it took me a while
to understand that I should use my LDAP credentials and
not the default password.

So, at the end I'm at a "bug or feature" question...

Yes, yes, it's a feature :-) . The fact is that if you
disable local accounts, and you just keep LDAP, then the
admin account, by virtue of the CFG_SITE_ADMIN_EMAIL
configuration parameter is checked against LDAP using your
email.

Ok, if I _just keep LDAP_.

If you were using both local and LDAP (unless there's some
bug), you could have authenticate with any of the two.

That's the point. In fact I allow both, though the default
is LDAP. (The idea is that we might have users that do not
have a local mail address.)

(In the login form you could have seen, under the username
and password field, a dropdown menu letting you choose
between local and LDAP authentication.

Right. There seems, however, no equivalent in the CLI-tools,
right? Ie. no parameter except -u.
