When sipXecs is installed, the Openfire IM server gets configured with a default console administrator: admin/admin
When the Openfire IM server is configured to work with LDAP, the default admin/admin user cannot log into the administrative console.
This is because authentication is performed at LDAP level.
If LDAP authentication fails it does not fallback to database authentication. A login error message is displayed to the user instead.
LDAP users are not copied in openfire database and LDAP directory is read-only, meaning that Openfire cannot create users in the configured LDAP directory.

In sipXecs, the existing user superadmin permission can be reused to offer Openfire Administrative Console administration support also.
- Sipxecs marks as default Openfire Administrative Console admins the users: admin and superadmin
- When LDAP is configured, if you create in ldap a user called admin it will automatically be Openfire Administrative Console admin
- When LDAP is not configured. The default Openfire administrator: admin/admin is functional. In addition, superadmin becomes Openfire Administrative Console admin when if is set as IM ID. Also the default Openfire administrator: admin/admin is functional
- No matter if LDAP is configured or not, any other user that is made sipxecs admin becomes Openfire Administrative Console admin as well
