What happens with existing local users

    Hi,

    Maybe I’m missing something, but before I pull the switch on using this, I was hoping to find out a little information on what would happen with existing local accounts.

    Specifically, I have a situation where the WPMU server has been running for some time. I have a hundred or so local accounts, all with usernames that exactly match their AD usernames. I’d like to convert to using LDAP authentication now. I have successfully tested a connection and seem to be good to go. If I now enable this plugin, will existing accounts start to authenticate against the LDAP server, or will they still use the old, local WP passwords?

    Thanks for any input,
    v

    I installed a second test server, and reproduced the scenario on that. The answer is, after installing this plugin, a super-admin can change each individual user to either be a local account or LDAP account. That seems to be well thought out and works well.
