Hello,
I have a question about what happens when we migrate from Confluence and using the conversion tools (either Confluence Migratior Pro or Filter Streams Converter) we import groups users and rights using the field included in the setup of the converter tools, using the information described in the documentation, (variable true and mapping information), while also using LDAP mapping?
Does one make part of the job the other doesn’t, or is it likely to create a conflict?
These are the configuration options from the conversion tools I am referring to:
Group name mapping :
A mapping between Confluence group names and XWiki group names. The format is confluencegroup=XWikiGroup pairs separated by pipes ("|"). Use an empty value to ignore the group.For instance: atlassian-addons=|balsamiq-mockups-editors=MockupEditors|administrators=XWikiAdminGroup|site-admins=XWikiAdminGroup|_licensed-confluence=|confluence-users=XWikiAllGroup|confluence-administrators=XWikiAdminGroup|system-administrators=XWikiAdminGroup|group 1=MyGroup org.xwiki.contrib.confluence.filter.Mapping
Import Users must be set to true :
Import the users and groups found in the confluence package.
If this parameter is set to true, user profiles present in the export package will be imported into XWiki. Setting this parameter to "false" may be needed if you use a central user directory service like LDAP or Active Directory, in which case you need to decide on a careful user migration strategy. »
Import rights must be set to true :
This parameter definer whether permissions set in Confluence should be migrated into XWiki.
Importing users and groups is not mandatory; rights will be imported without. However, if you disable user or group import to import them using another method, for the correct rights to apply to the correct users and groups, you will need to create the users and the groups with the exact same names that are in Confluence, or that are specified in the User id mapping and Group name mapping parameters (as these two parameters will be respected by the right migration even if groups and users are not imported).
Thanks for clarifying.
