Thank you for your bug report, dropping the "other" by default is a
design decision (done in unity-greeter r236) based on the fact that the
entry showed to be confusing for desktop users and that corporate setups
which need ldap login should be able to deal with custom configurations
to enable that (it's a simple configuration change)

** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) => unity-greeter (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: unity-greeter (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

Title:
  Other ... option is missing

Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have tested the latest version of LightDM from:

  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa

  and noticed that the 'Other ...' option is no longer available. This
  is necessary to e.g. allow login of LDAP users.

  For those, the wallpaper preview also might not work, at least as long
  as they do not have local home directories.
