How to migrate LDAP users from AEM6.1 to AEM6.5

[kyasam]

I am migrating existing project from AEM 6.1 to AEM 6.5. We have AEM author users and associated permissions in AEM 6.1 and want to port it back to AEM 6.5.

Please help us.

Hi @kyasam ,

You can use ACL Packager from ACS Common, once you you have synced all the users/groups from LDAP.

1. Migrated content first to 6.1
2. Create the ACL Packager in lower env i.e, 6.1 in your case.
3. Select "Package ACL handling" as "merge"
4. Provide the users/groups name you want to migrate or users/groups ACL's which you want to migrate under "Principle names"
5. Provide the "Include patterns"
6. Select "Include principle" if you want to include the user/group in the same package. Unselect this if you want to migrate users/groups separately.
7. Select Include ACL package. No harm in selecting one option. This is optional.
8. Build the package. Download and upload to 6.5. Install the package.

Hi @kyasam 

The LDAP users are essentially aem users and migrating LDAP users to 6.5 will be same as migrating aem users. The below article will help you in migrating users, groups and acls to different env.

There is one more easier way to do this using ACS commons ACL packager. Here is an article for the same. I recently migrated LDAP users from 6.2 to 6.5 using ACS commons ACL packager and would recommend the same.

Please do keep in mind to exclude certain users and groups like admin, anonymous, geometerixx etc.

Let me know if you have further queries.
