Hello @Mahendar Daripalli

If you have the users in both directories using the same username, you can simply put the LDAP/Active Directory on the top in the User Directories screen, and JIRA will start to use it instead of the internal. The issue association is based in the username, so it will not be a problem.

You should look at this atlassian document which helps you in process of migration of users.
