The purpose is to create a local user in jenkins(granting admin rights) along side the LDAP group authentication so that this "local" user can perform all admin actions whenever the LDAP authentication is not working. I can set up active directory user(valid users with a valid id), but i want to explore the possibility of setting up "local" jenkins user I tried to figure this out through JENKINS JIRA but there is no mention of jenkins local user.
Can anyone help me figure this out.
You can't.
When you activate LDAP authentication, you automatically disable Jenkins' internal user database. Both cannot co-exist.
