Important note

If you change the authentication method of a user whose password is not managed in JP1/AO from LDAP to Internal, the user is locked automatically, and is no longer able to log in to JP1/AO. If you set a password for the user in JP1/AO, or change the authentication method back to LDAP, the user is unlocked.
