[Freeipa-users] Migrating from custom auth system

[Alexander Bokovoy]

Nicola,

perhaps it would help if you explain what did you mean by saying below
>>>My problem is with Kerberos and FreeIPA web GUI, which don't accept LDAP
>>>users not created by IPA.

When you enabled migration mode and actually migrated users with 'ipa
migrate-ds' command, you will have those users in IPA and they will be
able to authenticate via LDAP with their old passwords.

If your server (where your web app would be running) is enrolled into
IPA, then it would be already running SSSD and set up for using it via
pam_sss. Then configuring your web app to authenticate via PAM stack
(for example, like we explain on http://www.freeipa.org/page/Web_App_Authentication)
takes care of properly logging in and updating passwords.

SSSD knows about migration mode and has support for it.
