Alfresco supports such a "migration" out-of-the-box. It depends on the order of authentication subsystems in your authentication chain. If a user is synched from LDAP, and LDAP has a higher order than the previous subsystem in which the user was managed, it can "move" the user to the new subsystem. "Higher order" means that the LDAP subsystem would have to be listed in the authentication chain before the local subsystem (alfrescoNtlm). The only condition then would be that the user ID synched from LDAP match the user ID already used for the local user.
