[xwiki-users] LDAP Authentication

[Hari Gangadharan]

I have the exact same problem. The logged in user does not have any
privileges and no account created for him. I suppose an account is
automatically created for the logged in user. Am I wrong? If I register the
user with any password then LDAP login works (I can use LDAP Password) and
everything is OK. Otherwise user is logged in the id comes on the top right
with the logout link but the profile page is also not there.

Avinash, did you solve this issue?
