[SOLVED] LDAP vs local users

Hello,
I've been given the task to upgrade an old instance of Projeqtor to the latest release. Obviously this cannot be done in production, so I've set up a virtual machine (Linux RHEL7) with ad-hoc packages installed, and database initialized from a backup.
Projeqtor loads and runs fine.
But this VM has no acces to our global LDAP, so I cannot log in. Is there a way to manually create a non-LDAP user to proceed my upgrade ?
Tanks in advance
Cheers,
Xavier

Edit :
I found the way to move out parametersLocation.php, it gives me the config screen, where I disabled LDAP. But still no admin login

Solved : the culprit was the permissions on /var/opt/rh/rh-php56/lib/php/sessions, which was apache, and not projeqtor (we use php-fpm)
