No worries I figured it had something to do with LDAP (it has given me nothing but issues). I unfortunately do not have an alternative to using LDAP. Probably just stay on 5.5 and tiki 15.x for now. Thanks for the response.
Register at tiki.org and you'll be able to use the account at any *.tiki.org site, thanks to the InterTiki feature. A valid email address is required to receive site notifications and occasional newsletters. You can opt out of these items at any time.
