How do I handle change of user IDs from federated repo to LDAP
My customer started with the tomcat server topology and administered his users there.
Now he is on WAS and in the meantime, due to organisational issues, users got new ids in their LDAP system, so the user ids in jazz are not the user ids found in the LDAP.
1. Changing the user ids in jazz does not work properly for DNG/RQM. We tried that.
2. With WAS and a federated repository a password change by a user is not possible:

3. Can we somehow link an id in the ldap to an id in the WAS federated repository?
Do you guys have an idea on how to handle this situation?

Accepted answer
when we went thru this as part of a system migration, we exported, then changed the userid in the export, then added the users to the new system (via ldap),
then imported. some changes fell thru the cracks and the import created userids matching the old system, even tho the user could not logon. we just changed the workitems to the new userid, then archived the old bad id. (as u cannot delete) we did not use DNG/RQM at the time. but I assume as they are JTS connected the same operations should be possible (change owner). for source, there is a mechanism to correct userids.. see https://jazz.net/library/article/535/, section f.

In addition to Sam's answer, you can change ID's in RTC to match them to a new LDAP as described here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/10/12/changing-the-jazz-user-id-using-the-rtc-plain-java-client-libraries/
