How to move a user from internal directory to LDAP directory in Confluence with API

FabienA

Hi,

How is it possible to move a user from a directory (internal) to another (LDAP) in Confluence with using a confluence API.

I wrote a Python program using xmlrpc api to create a user and it has been created into the internal directory (should be the default one with addUser xmlrpc method). But now I need to move it to the LDAP one (because authentication with password, etc).

Thanks for your help,

Fabien

The best way to add a user to an LDAP directory is via the LDAP tools. You may add a user with the same name as the internal user to your LDAP directory and providing the LDAP directory is higher in the User Directory hierarchy, the LDAP user will be "seen" as the same user. Please see Managing Multiple Directories for the effects of directory order on group memberships and logins.
