Dylan,

Do you have an entry for Authentication-Chaining-Mode: in your ar.conf?  
If so, please note the comments below from the config guide;

This parameter enables the administrator to use more than one type of 
authentication on the same system.  The values for Authentication-Chaining-
Mode are as follows: 

0—Use the default behavior as in releases prior to 6.3. 
1—Use internal authentication as the primary method; then use external 
authentication via the AREA plug-in as the secondary method. 
2—Use external authentication via the AREA plug-in as the primary method; 
then use internal authentication as the secondary method.

If the Authentication-Chaining-Mode is set to a value of 1 or 2, the 
Authenticate-Unregistered-Users parameter will be ignored.

If the Crossref-Blank-Password parameter is enabled, and Authentication-
Chaining-Mode is set to a value of 1 or 2, users who have a blank password 
in their User record will be permitted to log in to the system without a 
password (that is, a NULL password).

Mark
