[dokuwiki] Authenticate against LDAP but retain users.auth.php group assignment?

I've recently upgraded my doku version and I want to switch to LDAP
authentication but I want to retain the ability to assign groups to
users via users.auth.php instead of using LDAP groups since I have a lot
of automation around this file already and it affords me stricter
security control than with my LDAP server which several departments use.
I looked through the LDAP auth documentation but it seems to be all or
nothing.  Can someone more knowledgeable of using LDAP with doku provide
some advice please?  Is my assumption correct that I can only use LDAP
groups with LDAP authentication?  Or is there a middle ground and if so
what it might be and where can I find info for configuring it?

 

Thanks,

 

Bobby
