There are two forms for config options editing. The one at Configuration/My account/Interface preferences is indeed related to the UserConfig table. I cannot confirm right now it produces an error for an LDAP user, but this may happen. The other form is atConfiguration/User interface and it does exactly what you were lookingfor (sets default options for all users). Does it help?
Thanks to everyone who confirmed there is a second way of doing this. Some minimal poking around shows that the Config table has a default date format in the DATETIME_FORMAT row so a simple "update Config set varvalue='d/m/Y' where varname='DATETIME_FORMAT';" seems to have done what I needed.
