In JIRA 5.1.8, we can inactivate user accounts instead of deleting them. This works for user accounts in JIRA internal directory, but not for users synchronized and authenticated from LADP. When administering an LDAP user, this option is hidden.
I checked whether this can be done with SQL.
update cwd_user set active = 0 where lower_user_name = 'shaakunthala'; commit;
It worked after a restart. After restarting, I did a directory synchronization to see whether it get reverted.
Is this workaround OK? Are there any drawbacks in this approach other than the downtime?
Hi Sameera
This workaround seems to be okay.
The only problem is that you'll need to set the user as "active =1" directly on the database when you want it back.
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
