Mass rename of user IDs/names

[technaton]

Hello everybody,

I've made a mistake with LDAP synchronization from AD. I accidentially set

ldap.synchronization.userIdAttributeName=userPrincipalName‍

Now, after we've enabled Kerberos (to enable Windows 7 clients to access the document library via CIFS), the user IDs are, of course, incorrect. What's needed is

ldap.synchronization.userIdAttributeName=sAMAccountName‍

Is there any way to rename the already synchronized users, i.e. to change their ID without needing to re-synchronize the DB? The goal would be to not lose the already existing relations to wiki pages, etc.

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Problem solved.

I tried to do this via the REST API Alfresco 4.0 offers, but to no avail. However, the solutions is quiet simpler — changing the "ldap.synchronization.userIdAttributeName" suffices for Alfresco to pick up the changes. 🙂
