closedsystem_usermanager_settings.php - When no Auth Server is defined, it should default to Local Database
0%
Description
On system_usermanager_settings.php when there is no Auth Server defined in config.xml, the drop-down for Authentication Server should default to "Local Database".
Currently the drop-down defaults to whatever is first in the list, which if the user has any servers defined, is a custom server and not what is actually active at the time (which is really "Local Database").

this might to work: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/2063
on a related note:
if ($_POST['authmode'] != "local") { //more code here....
above shows up in system_usermanager_settings.php on releng2_2 & master. Yet authmode is not/never set to "local" ; it is set to "Local Database" (unless i'm missing something).

The error seems to go back to at least pfSense 2.0 so please test carefully.

In system_usermanager_settings.php in 2.2.5 it works OK for me, and looking at the code it does indeed select Local Database from the list if 'authmode' is not set. So I wonder why Steve is saying "The error seems to go back to at least pfSense 2.0"?
In diag_authentication.php in 2.2.5 there is no code to select the system 'authmode' setting as the default - so that part is non-optimal in 2.2.5.

I added PR https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/2065 to backport the diag_authentication.php bit of this to RELENG_2_2
It seems to me that it is worthwhile backporting little easy fixes like this to RELENG_2_2 so they can be easily noticed against all the Bootstrap noise, and so existing 2.2.* users can easily see and get them if they wish.

and a suggested improvement to the diag_authentication.php for 2.3 https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/2066
