Hi Israel, We don't have a built-in way of doing this for Active Directory users. In order to create the local entry in the database for an AD user, we need some information on the user from AD that can be passed to ActiveDirectoryBackend.get_or_create_user(). This comes from a user lookup that happens during the authentication process. It's unfortunately just a restriction of the current way this backend currently works (and is probably worth changing, really).
It's definitely possible to script something of your own that performs the lookup manually and constructs a user through that method (or just by performing logic identical to that method for the user construction), though, if you feel comfortable with Python. The code you'd want to look up is in reviewboard/accounts/backends/ad.py.
