LDAP sync deletes existing users

lueders

With Alfresco Community 3.2 (stable) I ran into the following problem:

Users that have been previously created by the 3.1 LDAP sync are being erased and recreated by the new 3.2 sync.
Does anybody know how to upgrade the old users in a way that they won't be recreated?
Otherwise all group memberships and site permissions would be lost.

Recreating occluded user 'johndoe'. This user was previously created manually or through synchronization with a lower priority user registry.

FYI a fix for this has now been merged to HEAD (revision 15637). Here's the change comment:

LDAP sync will no longer delete and recreate colliding users and groups in zones that aren't even in the authentication chain.
- Instead such users and groups will be 're-zoned' to the first zone where they were found
- Avoids losing site memberships, etc. on upgrade or change of authentication chain
- Will continue to recreate users and groups from lower priority zones in the authentication chain
- Updated unit tests appropriately

Sweet! That was quick.

Wow! Thanks a lot!

And how exactly did you set up LDAP syncronization for Alfresco Community? I've installed 3.2r2, but haven't set up any kind of syncronization…
