GET /api/account returns error when LDAP authentication is enabled in Jhipster uaa app

Question

Overview of the issue

GET /api/account return 500 error when we have ldap integration in jhipster uaa, the user is present in ldap directory not in the uaa DB, therefore it return 500 error, no user found

Motivation for or Use Case

It is a doubt, so my question is should we add the user in DB after successful authentication from Ldap or do I need to update the API according to my requirement, which will be the solution.

Reproduce the error

Add embedded ldap configuration in uaa:

@override
public void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
if (enabled.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
ContextSourceBuilder csb = auth.ldapAuthentication().userSearchBase(userSearchBase).userSearchFilter(userSearchFilter).groupSearchBase(groupSearchBase).groupSearchFilter(groupSearchFilter).contextSource();
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(root)) {
csb.root(root);
}
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(ldapUrl)) {
csb.url(ldapUrl);
}
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(ldifFilePath)) {
csb.ldif(ldifFilePath);
}
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(manager)) {
csb.managerDn(manager);
}
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(managerPassword)) {
csb.managerPassword(managerPassword);
}
} else {
auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
}
}

When user logs in, the user is verified from ldap directory and after login GET /api/account is trigerred for some information. The user is not present in the uaa app DB, therefore it returns error.
