Can we migrate non-LDAP to LDAP?

The main requirement is that you assign a user the same user-id string
as they have in the LDAP repository.

Hi

I have to start a project soon but LDAP is not ready. Can I start
without LDAP (creating all groups and users in RTC), and migrate that
to LDAP later? What's the consequence, e.g. UUID etc.?

Thanks

1. So if I create a set of groups and ids in RTC (w/o LDAP) now, e.g. JazzAdmins, JazzUsers, etc, and e.g. my login id "huji". I've already requested to create JazzAdmins, JazzProjectAdmins, JazzUsers, JazzGuests and JazzDWAdmins group in LDAP and add users into them.

2. Then when I get these new LDAP groups, I can import them into WAS to configure the security. But can I import these LDAP groups and users into RTC, since they are already there with same names?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

please see this thread and especially the documentation hints: https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18754&sid=2e89bed0c2a22e160c86756a69f1450d

RTC uses the user ID to communicate with the external directory. If a user with an ID already exists in RTC the user will not be recreated, instead RTC uses the ID to work with LDAP. Please be aware that RTC is case sensitive, unless this is explicitely switched off. Keep that in mind and use the ID's exactly as defined in LDAP when creating the users before switching to LDAP.
