Hi Brent, In the version 4.2 and 4.2.1 there is no way to directly import the Ldap users into the CS,hence we nee to manually create the Ldap users in the CS with the desired role which we want to give for that particular ldap user in the CS giving some random password. The Ldap user can then login to the CS using this password or else can login to the CS using the LDap password. When the user tries to login CS initially validates the password with the local db and if the password doesn't match it tries to validate with the ldap password for the same user and provides the authentication for the user.
