Andi Huber updated ISIS-2157:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
When using Secman with delegated authentication to LDAP, any login attempt 
authenticated or not will create an (disabled) user-account in the DB.

While not a security risk, this allows attackers to 'fill' the database with 
arbitrary garbage.

Desired behavior for this scenario is to auto-create user accounts in the DB 
only if these do successfully authenticate with the delegated authentication 
mechanism.
