Hi again,Jahia needs a specific table format to read/write users in the database, so you cannot "magically" point it to any existing database, hoping it will guess the table format and how users are retrieved/stored.
Another set of questions, re users' migration this time:
For a migration into Jahia, one of our customers requires all existing users (~5000) to get a Jahia login/password, so that they can access personalized areas depending on their profile. For now, users are located in an Oracle database.
I believe importing users could be done via configuration (i.e. change datasource from administration console and/or config file to connect to Oracle instead of picking users from Jahia). Am I right?
Now, how do you manage users' groups in this configuration? Is there any way to associate users with specific Jahia groups? Would it be a manual operation (i.e. from administration console) or could
this be done automatically?
So if you want to go the database way you would have to write some code to migrate from the existing DB schema to Jahia's users DB schema.
