I'm using the Acegi Security plugin for Grails, and authentication via LDAP.

The application logs show that on login, we can authenticate the user and get their roles via LDAP, but the login fails because the User Details cannot be found in the application's database.

Is there a way to auto create and save a basic User Details domain object if one doesn't already exit?
