I have a Confluence instance with a number of users in the Confluence Internal Directory, for example, "Fred Flintstone", username "fred". "fred" has lots of history attached.
We synched the corporate AD, which is read-only for us. The user Fred Flintstone, for example, has a corporate AD username of "fred.flintstone@bedrock.com" At synchronization time, the AD users have no history attached.
There's no obvious migration strategy for us, given that our AD directory is read-only. Nor can I just change the username "fred" to "fred.flintstone@bedrock.com" and move the Confluence internal directory down in the ordering -- no duplicate usernames are allowed.
I've read all the docs and the suggestions on here, but none of them cover this specific case. It seems to me the only strategy is to
replace name, external_id, directory_id, etc of the internal user with those values from the ad user, then delete the ad user record from the database.
However, this seems brittle and scary. I need a sanity check.
