[Archivesspace_Users_Group] New to ArchivesSpace and LDAP/public Interface Questions

[Trevor Thornton]

I can answer the second part: Yes, the user needs to be created in
ArchivesSpace before being able to log in, even with LDAP authentication
enabled. You can log in as the 'admin' user using the password set in
config/config.rb in the AppConfig[:default_admin_password] setting (default
password is 'admin' - but it's a good idea to change that after logging
in). Once logged in as admin you can create users and assign them to
groups. You will still need to assign a password but the user will be able
to log in with their LDAP password instead.
