The issue you are facing:
Missing option for mapping existing LDP-user with data to saml

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Create user-account via LDAP-Log-In
  2. Create some data
  3. Enable user_saml-app
  4. Configure user_saml and test it
  5. Log-In using saml → new account for the same user

Hello everybody,

we have an existing LDAP-System and now installed the app user_saml. We can log-in with saml but it creates a new account and the existing user data are not mapped. We are searching for days, in OC and NC-Forums solving this mapping-problem but without success. The manuals are not explicitely enough. The problem is familiar to the issue here, but we don’t want to change the core:

Can anybody help? Thanks.
Sincerely
Seal

We have the same issue… anyone got news on that?
