Is this an authentication coming in through the Mid-Tier? You will see this pattern of log if the user is coming in through anything other than Mid-Tier, like User, Dev Studio, custom API, etc.
If it was coming in through the web, through SSO, it wouldn't have the ability to authenticate through LDAP because SSO doesn't typically send a password.
