Hi Hilton, If you have LDAP autoregistration turned on, LDAP users are added to the eperson table as soon as they log in for the first time. DSpace never removes them. When they are no longer present in LDAP, they simply won't be able to log in. Purging old LDAP users from eperson wouldn't be a bad feature, just remember that users may have deposited items, so you have to check that first. The second consideration would be _when_ such purging is run? Curation task? Command line invocation? There already were discussions about deleting users who deposited some items on this list, but status quo has been maintained - only manual deletion is possible.
