I believe LDAP users normally can't be confirmed, as they are created without a confirm code.
The other features: "Do not take date of birth","Require rule-acceptance upon joining", works ok for LDAP users.
As I understand LDAP user in Composr DB is created only then, when it logs in first time. NOT when LDAP is configured in Composr.
Composr supports them for members joining via the 'join' module (i.e. the more common scenario in Composr).
Here we have something different. Composr guesses the user's email address from LDAP, and pre-populates the "complete account" form with it. From the point of view of the code it's not a confirmation, it's a pre-population designed to stream-line things.
We can keep this open as a feature request if you like, or you can consider sponsoring, or implementing yourself. We'd need cns_member_external_linker_ask to be bypassed for the case where the form is fully pre-populated, probably by turning on an option to enable this behaviour.
