Hello,  
I need to change my ldap configuration as we are changing our domain, how can I do so without loosing user data? (I quickly tried but when I log back in it creates a new user instead of reading my “old” user in the old domain).

Best regards,  
James

Hi James,

May we have the same problem.  
I have a workaround, but don’t know it this is a good way: [LDAP Migration with different DN](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/ldap-migration-with-different-dn/88449)

Did you find any solution so far?

May you find also useful this topic:
