LDAP Export/Import + LDAP modification

Hello,

I’m trying to make Bluemind use an LDAP server to store the user data.

The problem is that my users are already in Bluemind.

The LDAP Export module is apparently only one-way: if I modify the data directly in the LDAP server, it is not transferred to Bluemind.

In order to use the sync/import module, I tried to export my Bluemind users with the export module, but once I disconnect it from Bluemind (I remove the role from the supervised domain), I can no longer connect to the LDAP server.

What’s the best practice to achieve my goal?

Thanks!

Hello,
If you are a BlueMind technical partner, it is recommanded to use our ticketing system.

You’re right : export module and LDAP plugin are only one way.

In order to convert a local user to an LDAP user, you need to set in the admin console the external-id of each user to the ext-id value of your LDAP server.

Otherwise, the local user will not be updated with the LDAP values (and you may have an error or a duplicate user).
