Map Confluence internal users to Active Directory Users

[IMSIRL]

Hi Folks,

we currently use Confluence internal Users but we want to switch to Active Directory.

We have been using confluence for some time so a lot of pages created.

If we move to Active Directory will we have a whole load of new users who are not linked to any pages - so for example Joe Bloggs (Internal) created his own site and 50 pages - we then sync with AD and we have Joe Bloggs (Active Directory) is there any way to map or link these together as the same person from a pages perspective.

And if we can't I assume if there are any pages that have permissions based on internal users we will be denied access with the AD users?

Any help would be appreciated
