#1651 Add admin user with LDAP authentication

[Gordon Johnson]

Just wondering the easiest way to add a single admin account while still using ldap for authentication. Thanks

[Campbell Morrison]

For just a single admin account the easiest way is probably to add the administrator in the config file:

unset($auth["admin"]);   // Include this when copying to config.inc.php
$auth["admin"][] = "admin_username";

I was unsure if you were asking for an admin user which wasn't an LDAP user. If so, I'd say you'd have to update the auth_ldap scheme yourself, as it's not a simple change.

Thanks so much Campbell and John. Those lines of code worked without any issue - thanks again so much for your help
