If you use LDAP administrators predominantly, at least one local administrator account must always exist,
and that local administrator must be a High Access Administrator. This local High Access Administrator is
needed in the event that connectivity to the LDAP server is lost, or if all administrator accounts on the
LDAP server are removed or renamed.
Likewise, if you use the Multiple Credentials feature, there must exist at least as many local High Access
Administrators as are needed to perform configuration operations. LDAP administrators are otherwise
fully compatible with the Multiple Credentials feature.
