Hello all,
In the details for the system modes available, the details for production mode are as follows:
"Production: This mode uses a data caching model optimized for user response time. The cost is slightly slower startup time and a short-lived performance degradation when system data (such as queries, reports, and master data) is changed. Production mode is available only when the system is properly licensed. Modules not licensed will be hidden in the UI automatically once Production mode is enabled. Additionally, the Local directory driver is unavailable in Production mode for security purposes."
What exactly is meant by the local directory driver? What does it impact? I'm not exactly sure what it means.
You can use the 'local' directory for user authentication in development and test systems. On Unix, it's a password.properties file at the OS level.
However, the 'local' directory authentication is not supported in a production system. You have to use an LDAP in production.

What version are you using?
I'm not sure if the system will even allow you to set it to production if it's using local authentication, but I could be wrong. To answer your question, if you don't have an LDAP configured and there is no password.properties file at the OS level, you will not be able to add any users.
Do you plan on (or already have) development and test systems?
