Hi Peter,
Hi all,
please, is there anybody who successfully migrated EGw database from
OpenLDAP authentication to ActiveDirectory?
Sure, a couple of times.
Is there any common knowledge available?
Questions is: are you only authenticating against AD/LDAP or do you want
to store EGroupware’s accounts there?
First is easy, just change configuration in setup.
Second is a little more tricky, as EGroupware uses numeric user-ids in
it’s database.
For AD with use the RID (last part of SID) for that purpose.
So you have to change EGroupware database to match the RID in your AD:
admin/admin-clip.php --change-account-id
admin-account[@domain],admin-password,from1,to1[…,fromN,toN]
Changes one or more account_id’s in the database (make a backup
before!).
It is important to do changes for all accounts with a single command, as
otherwise we can not distinguish between a row already changed to a RID
and one containing the same old account_id. For groups you prefix RID
and old account_id with a minus (-).
