Other Notes

Moving from LDAP to SSO

• If moving from LDAP to SSO you have to add a custom attribute to map to the username so the usernames will match correctly
• To migrate current users to SSO the SQL command needs to be run on the database with the correct group ID

UPDATE users set ldap_sync_id = NULL, saml_config_id = 1, userType = 'local'  where deleted_at is null and group_id =
