Moin, we use user authentication via LDAP. But the question is: what, if the LDAP fails? The documentation how to setup or repair the LDAP server is inside our wiki. So I wonder if it's possible to use LDAP for "mormal" users, but a local user (let's call him "admin") with authentication against the database?

Hi Michael, if you set $wgLDAPUseLocal = true; in LocalSettings.php, you should see 'local' in the list of domains on the login screen. Set this to local and you can use any database account to log in.

There is a fallback to local wiki authentication, if your LDAP config doesn't prevent it. Iirc by default the LDAP extension does disable it however. For a quick fix, you can disable the extension (comment it the include in you LocalSettings.php), then login with any account in you database that you know the password to.

If there is no local user, but users can login with valid LDAP credentials how does one go about creating a local user?
