Migration of Projects from Tomcat Users to LDAP users
We are migrating our RTC from tomcat user authentication to LDAP (on tomcat). The user names between both systems are unique, so we need to do the following steps:
1. Assign floating license to the new LDAP account.
2. Update the Administrators and Members of each project area to use the LDAP accounts.
3.Update Team memberships for each LDAP account and remove the tomcat account from membership.
4.Reassign work items from the tomcat accounts to the LDAP accounts.
We have 200+ uses so this is onerous. any ideas on automating this or making it simpler?
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
have you looked into the repotools? I think it is possible to export the users (License assignment included) and import.
You could try to export, modify the CSV file (replace the ID with the LDAP ID) and reimport. Just a thought. This would be easy enough to try on a test system.
Other options would be looking into the Plain Java API e.g. to migrate the team membership. Programming however usually pays off only if there is a need for longer usage.
