Title: Migrating from Access manager to Active Directory
Post by: Tsunami on 26 Jul 2011 12:16:58 PM
I have experience creating an Active Directory namespace.  However, I've never migrated from one to the other.  What are somethings I will need to look out for?  Or, is there any documentation?  Personal expriences, tips, and anecdotes are all welcomed.

Thanks

Due to the lack of response on here (and the rest of the web), I'll throw out what I am going to try.

1.  Create Active Directory namespace
2.  Create Groups in AD namespace
3.  Copy User Profiles from Access Manger, one by one, and paste them in the Active Directory groups.

Possible issue I may run into:  I know there is a 'default' profile that will be based off the AD directory.  I'm not sure what will work, but maybe including it with the copy/pasted profile from access manager???  Not sure...will post my findings.
