   > I would say this should be opt-in, rather than by default with ldap, as 
I've been in plenty of places where being to create a user manually when using 
LDAP is viewed as a security risk (cos then the user is not managed centrally.
   
   Just to clarify - adding the user in Airflow DB in this case does NOT create 
the user in LDAP. It only creates a DB user entry in Airflow DB, allowing the 
user to log-in, but the user must exist in LDAP prior to that. It just merely 
tells Airflow "This user, when atuthenticatng via LDAP should be able to use 
Airflow" - so it's only authorization to Airflow, not authentication in LDAP is 
managed via Airflow UI.
