Thread:Extension talk:LDAP Authentication/What are the problems with using wgLDAPUseLocal?/reply

The option was meant for transitional purposes. I haven't tested the extension thoroughly with it enabled. Though it works for this, don't be surprised if you run into bugs every once in a while. Notice I've responded in the past often with "won't fix" for bugs related to UseLocal, as they are difficult use cases to solve.
