Migration of nested groups to another LDAP

Javier Castro

I am changing the LDAP server used by the company. The LDAP currently configured in JIRA is a "Microsoft Active Directory (Read Only, with Local Groups)", and I am using nested groups in JIRA, so that a local group contains several LDAP groups.

If I configure the new LDAP in JIRA in the first position, neither the user memberships nor the nested group memberships are preserved, so I would need to know how can I migrate those memberships so that JIRA uses the new LDAP the configuration of memberships are the same as if JIRA was using the old LDAP.

I found an article (https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/move-local-group-memberships-between-directories-in-jira-server-289277867.html), which indicates the "workaround" for I can migrate user memberships to another LDAP, but I have not seen in "JIRA CLI plugin" documentation any command to be able to do that same migration with the nested groups.

How can I migrate JIRA nested groups to another LDAP server?

Hi @Javier Castro , 

The possibility of adding/migrating the Nested groups through CLI is not possible due to no available Atlassian REST API for the nested group.

Once the Atlassian releases the REST API for Nested group functionality, Appfire Bobswift JIRA CLI development team will review and based on that would consider adding/migrating the Nested groups through CLI in their next releases.

I hope the information is helpful.

Thanks,

Kiran.
