Add LDAP users via code Portal 10.5.1

Question

The number of registered portal members is equal to or greater than the number of licensed members" But all i have is one built-in user (the native portal admin) and one more admin added from LDAP and i have enough licences to add new lvl 2 users, in fact in the organization tab i can see that i have 2 / 5 lvl 2 licences used, so i have 3 to add new users, what i'm attempting to add is a regular lvl 2 "user" role: xxx2682|xxxx2682@domain.com|xxx2682|user|test i have already tried add users directly from the organization tab and i can do it. Can anyone help me with this? there is any solution? Thanks.

Thanks for your response Jeff, i have already tried replacing the provider from "webadaptor" to "enterprise" and i got the same error:

"Error 500, Failed to register member xyz (xyz @domain.com). The number of registered portal members is equal to or greater than the number of licensed members"

Tried with the built-in option too and i got the same error, so it seems like is something else.

Looking at the python code, the provider that is being sent to the portaladmin/security/users/createUser endpoint needs to be 'enterprise' instead of 'webadaptor'.  I'll see if I can get help doc updated to fix this sample python code.  I'm not sure why the error being returned doesn't indicate it is an invalid provider.
