Create LDAP/AD users without "on-the-fly user creation"?

Hi guys,

I'm currently getting an OpenProject instance up and running here at the company (10.6.0 / Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). Small issue with LDAP/ActiveDirectory Authentication though: Testing LDAP connections succeeds, Login to OpenProject with LDAP user fails unless I have checked "on-the-fly user creation = yes". See https://community.openproject.com/topics/1719?r=3754#message-3754

The point is:

Actually I do not want every LDAP user of the company to be able to login to OpenProject. I rather want to create the users I want to permit inside OpenProject, so that these users then can login with their company LDAP account.

So the question:

How can I create a bunch of LDAP users inside OpenProject without having to check "on-the-fly user creation = yes"? Because otherwise every user first has to login to OpenProject before I can see him/her inside OpenProject.

Best

Tobias
