That option is only for local users and it is the same as editing
/etc/defaults/useradd, but your suggestion did improve my vision a bit
as next to the Exper Options button, is the LDAP Options button with
"LDAP User and Group Configuration", where you can edit the LDAP
templates. I found the correct template and changed it and now it
works!
Thanks
