Admin account after migrating to a new server

Question

Hi, We are planning to migrate all our Atlassian tools to new servers.  They all use Crowd for their user management.  All the apps except Bamboo allow the use of local users concurrently with the Crowd ones.
Where we are migrating to cannot see the existing crowd server.  So how can I migrate Bamboo?  I have performed a trial migration, and after importing the data to the new empty instance am unable to login as user management fails due to not being able to see the old Crowd instance.

Thanks - that's what I need.

I won't get a chance to attempt for a few weeks.  I'll add an outcome here when I do.

Hi David,

When you first set up Bamboo an admin user is created. You can use this user to log into Bamboo - if you forgot the password, you can reset it using the procedure described in https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/restoring-passwords-to-recover-admin-users-289277354.html

Hi Jeyanthan, thanks for the reply. I understand that given that the legacy Crowd is no longer visible I have to swap to the local user admin. However, if we ever had any users configured in the local user repository I am unaware of them. So after swapping, how can I log in as an administrator?

Thanks, David
