We upgraded Jira from 4.1.1 about six months ago to Jira 4.4.1. Our Jira installation has only ever done basic authentication to our OpenLDAP server, i.e. our hostname, port, base dn and username attribute are configured, but nothing else.
I now want to synchronise our groups and user information from the same OpenLDAP server, but I am unsure of the approach to take with this.
Do I:
1. Create a new user directory and switch to that one
or
2. Edit my existing user directory
It seems that both options require some fudging of data at the database end, and I want to know which direction I should be pursueing.
Perhaps someone has done this before or can point me to some other thread or doc that can help.
