If we use LDAP to do the authencation,Can we still create user in lifeRay? If we do not select "export" option, can we still create user in LifeRay? From my understanding, If we use LDAP to do the authencation, the user would be created LDAP, The lifeRay can not do the create user direclty.

Another question, If we select the import, then when user first login, the user would be synced to liferay db? So, the administrator can configure role to the user. The administrator can not configure role to the user before user log in first time, right?

Yes you can still have Liferay native users even when you are using the LDAP import. Gets kinda tricky when you enable export as Liferay will attempt to create the users in LDAP that you've created.

You can import roles from LDAP, not just users. If you get it set up correctly, your LDAP admin can assign roles in LDAP to the users that will be processed during import. That way you can pre-define the roles a user will have before they log into Liferay.

Thanks David. But if we create native users with export disable, native user can still log in to liferay. That's to say, LifeRay can indentify the user which is native or LDAP or not?

For the role,You mean that we can assign the role to user in ldap,during log in, the role info will be imported to lifeRay, So, When the user log into liferay, they will have corresponding previledge. But if we want to create role in liferay, then assign the role to a user。So, The user will log in firslty. Then, the liferay Administrator will be notified and assign the the user will related role. After that, the user log in the portal and will have access right for portlets, Is it correct steps? Thanks a lot.
