Hi,

on our ldap-autoregistration Galaxy-dev instance (details below) no new users can be auto-registered since recently because of

https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/7617

to me it seems that the function

``` message, status, user, success = self.__register(trans, **kwd) ```

called in `lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/controllers/user.py` (L90)

got lost between 19.01 and now.

Would be great to get some feedback. I could help with debugging or contributing, but I'm wondering how, since I would need to purge a user in order test this (creation of a new ldap user involves a lot of administrative work) .. and this seems impossible at the moment.

Cheers, Matthias

P.S. Instance details if of interest:

we have a dev instance that uses ldap for authentication, ie users can not create accounts on their own, but the account gets created if they are in ldap.

So I have in galaxy.yml

`allow_user_creation: false`

and in auth_conf

``` <allow-register>Challenge</allow-register> <auto-register>True</auto-register> ```

The configuration worked till recently (LDAP authentication still works according to the logs)
