LDAP is designed to be integrated at the OS level, e.g. to provide consistent UIDs across systems. Adding official support for LocalLDAPAuthenticator
gives the misleading impression that the created users are consistent with the LDAP database when they're completely independent.
I figure we need to update docs about not providing this, as it seems like a broken expectation for some users.
Marking as closed - let's not add this.
The readme sais:
I think its time to re-evaluate the creation of a LocalLDAPAuthenticator, currently there isn't one making creation of local users something one needs to get done manually, for example like described here: https://github.com/jupyterhub/ldapauthenticator/issues/107#issuecomment-771731193
