lightdm - config-switches don't work (correctly)

[delaytime0]

Following lightdm - Config-switches in the lightm.conf don't work as astimated:

allow-guest=false
The guest-user cannot login anymore, but is shown in the loginwindow.
In my opinion it should be completely disabled.

autologin-user=<someuser>
log the user in, but doesn't unlock the gnome-keyring.
It could be replecated with chromium-browser. After logging in and starting chrome, the password is asked for gnome-keyring.

greeter-hide-users=true
greeter-show-manual-login=true
doesn't work at all

I can't set these options too

greeter-hide-users=true
greeter-show-manual-login=true

I need login with a LDAP user account but I can't change the accounts at login screen.

Chiming in to re-affirm that this bug still exists. I am testing ElementaryOS as an alternative to Ubuntu for the organization I work for (currently have ~50 Ubuntu workstations) and when I apply the lightdm.conf I've been using for the unity-greeter theme to the pantheon-greeter-theme it fails to reflect the customizations. In the mean-time I've installed the (ugly) gtk greeter theme so that I can continue with my testing. The options I've set in lightdm.conf are as follows:

greeter-show-manual-login=true
greeter-hide-users=true
allow-guest=false

The greeter-show-manual-login, at the very least, is mandatory for ldap authentication to function properly.

Really needed feature, using unity-greeter for now...
