How the LDAMigrate Script Migrates the LDA Connector

During the migration, the LDAMigrate script does the following:

• Rolls the LDA extension mapping files from the mappings/ directory into an equivalent metadata document against the DYN schema (including visual grouping metadata). The LDAMigrate script then uses this document to create a DYN JNDI namespace named LDAP DYN.
• Copies all LDA directories and LDA account templates to the new DYN JNDI namespace.
• Updates all provisioning roles referencing LDA account templates to reference the equivalent DYN JNDI account templates.
• Creates a DYN JNDI namespace named LDAP DYN which replaces the superseded LDA namespace.
• Creates equivalents to any existing LDA directories under LDAP DYN.
• Creates equivalents of all existing LDA account templates under LDAP DYN.

Note: Before running the migration script, you must be able to contact the LDA endpoint because the LDAMigrate script must validate the password. To ensure that the migration runs smoothly:

• Wait until the endpoint becomes available before running the LDAMigrate script (preferred method), or
• Skip the unavailable endpoint by entering 'B' for its password when prompted by LDAMigrate.
