Merge local users to ldap account

ℹ️ Support

Hi everyone,

first of all: Sorry for my horrible english, but I hope, I can explane in the right way, what my problem is.

:-/

We plan to use openLDAP in the future for user authentication. At the moment, we have local user accounts in Nextcloud. Is there a way, to merge or transfer all the data from the local nc-user to the user, stored in the LDAP backend?

For example:
We have local user John Doe with userid john and we have the identically user (userid: john, with no data in nextcloud) stored in ldap.
When I activate the LDAP-backend for authentication, i have 2 users called john.

How can I merge all the data from both (local and ldap user).

There isn’t really a easy way. If you have a support contract, you can ask the support team if they can help you with this, see https://portal.nextcloud.com to reach them.

Did anything come up? I would be interested too.

Anyone any ideas on how to do this manually to merge ldap and local account?
