Migrate from LDAP to Google SSO #537
Reference in New Issue
Block a user
Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @tuaris on GitHub (Dec 28, 2017).
I currently have LDAP authentication enabled. I would like to switch it to use Google SSO instead. What's the best way to migrate without loosing content and making sure existing LDAP accounts can be 'claimed' (or linked) back to the Google ones?

Hi @tuaris, I'd be happy to help you through this, There are some caveats to be aware of.
You can run Google login alongside LDAP login for a while as you migrate.
Once set up all existing users can go to their profile settings, scroll to the bottom and select 'Link account'. This will allow them to sign into their current account via Google.
Currently, Google login has to be ran alongside ldap or email-login. While LDAP and Google sign-in are used users won't be able to register into the BookStack instance via Google since this is done on the register page which is disabled when LDAP is used.
If you know the GooglePlus ID's of your users you could manually link GooglePlus accounts to users directly via the database by updating the
social_accountstable. Here's an example of what this table looks like for reference:@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (May 27, 2018):
