CQ5.5 to AEM 6.1 migration: Is a mix of old and new way of User/Group Node names okay?

[michael_lemler]

Hi there,

we are migration from CQ 5.5 to AEM 6.1. As said in the Deprecated and Removed Features the way the User and Group Node name are generated has changed to a random way using the RandomAuthorizableNodeName. Since the migrated nodes still have the "old" node names I was wondering if there could be any problems with the mix of the two naming ways? Is there a recomanded way how to handle this?

1. May it lead to any problems having a mix of the naming strategies?
2. Is there a provieded way to migrate "old" users and groups to the new naming? Would this be recomended?
3. Is there a problem disableing the new way? As far as I know its for security reason. So the only problem would be to have the same security problem as with older CQ and AEM versions, right?

Thanks and regards

Michael

It shouldnt be as if you see all the OOB users still has the 'emailIds' as the node names
