Don,
I would recommend enabling both LDAP and Password authentication, at least long
enough to log in under the older administrator account and promote any accounts
created through LDAP logins (or create a temporary one to feel things out).
You can configure for both like so in config/modules/authentication.cfg
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \
org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPAuthentication, \
org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication
I had thought that the LDAP bind simply replaced auth on an existing account,
though I can see situations where configuration might cause conflicts.
If this response misses your point, please let me know.
-Jeff

Subject: [dspace-tech] LDAP Authentication
I have DSpace 5.5 with XMLUI and Mirage. I initially set up DSpace with
Password Authentication. I now want to switch to LDAP Authentication. I have
configured the authentication config file and the ldap config file. All
appears good except that I now see to have zapped my own administrator account.
How can I get my DSpace account back to being an administrator account? I can
revert my DSpace back to Pasword Auth and my old Admin account works as an
admin again. What I need is my LDAP account to also be an admin account, so
that I can revert back to LDAP auth and still have admin rights.
Regards,
Don.
