Thank you, that makes sense but my problem is doing the initial migration. How do I get the existing user data into LDAP using the hashed password from the old database?

Once you migrate your DB users to LDAP, if you enable IPA's "migration mode" (see the docs on how), the next time a user binds to LDAP using their existing password, a pre-bind plugin on FreeIPA will catch the plaintext password and use it to populate the Kerberos password fields automatically. _______________________________________________ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
