Its not quite clear to me what you're trying to achieve, but I suspect you
might need/want to specify what controller is involved higher up at the
routing stage, see:
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/extensions/plugin-interfaces.html#ckan.plugins.interfaces.IRoutes
Examples:

https://github.com/okfde/ckanext-offenedaten/blob/ckan-2.3/ckanext/offenedaten/plugin.py#L87

Thank you for the help but this additional information still doesn't solve my problem.

Hopefully I can clear up what I am trying to do with the picture listed in the link below.

Basically, the login page is replaced with the ldap login page.  That means a new login page must be created to handle non ldap users.  See image below for an understanding.

When the user clicks on 'login' at the top right, it takes them to the 'new' ldap login page. (user/login)

When the user clicks on the 'local login page' URL from the now new login page, it takes them to the 2nd picture (user/ckan_login)

The user.py class has been extended like this
from ckan.plugins import toolkit
from ckan.controllers.user import UserController
class UserController(toolkit.BaseController):
    def ldap_login(self):
        return toolkit.render('user/login.html')
    def ckan_login(self):
        return toolkit.render('user/login_ckan.html')

Routes:
       map.connect('ldap_login', '/user/ldap_login',
                    controller=user, action='ldap_login')
        map.connect('/user/ckan_login', '/user/ckan_login',
                    controller=user, action='ckan_login')

Snip from login_ckan.py
{% set controller = 'ckan.controllers.user:UserController' %} {% block breadcrumb_content %}
{{ h.nav_link(_('Local Account'), controller=controller, action='login') }}
{% endblock %} {% block primary_content %}
{% block page_heading %}{{ _('Login') }}{% endblock %}
{% block form %} {% snippet "user/snippets/login_form.html", action='c.login_handler', error_summary=error_summary %} {% endblock %}

 Thank you for your help
