Move users across from one LDAP directory to another?

Jeroen van Leeuwen

I am trying to move users from an Delegated LDAP directory to a new directory that does Delegated LDAP over SSL. All the same user names occur in both instances.

I want to remove the old LDAP directory in favour of the new one, but all user accounts seem to have attached themselves to the original one. Even if I move the new directory above the old one, it does not appear to re-evaluate the origin of the account.

I don't want to delete the existing accounts and risk leaving the exisitng content orphaned. I just want to update all user accounts to now refer to the new directory instead.

Is there some way I can update just that one reference without destroying information?!

If the two directories are both Delegated LDAP and contain the same users then you can update the connection details for the existing connection, rather than creating a new one. Is that an option here?
