Hi,

BSP have a tool that makes this process easy - SMSS http://www.bspsoftware.com/Products/MetaManager/SMSS

If you do this manually, you essentially need to redefine all your security again from scratch, since the CAMIDs in AD are completely different from the CAMIDs in Access Manager.

Cheers!

Hi MF,

Would you know if there is a available tool which is free to use?

Ha. Wouldn't that be nice! I suspect you might find such a tool in the mythical Ferrari showroom where Ferraris are free for all to drive away. :)

You have to evaluate the overall cost of the exercise - either in the time and effort it will take you and/or others to recreate your security, or in the money you will pay BSP for the work they have put into this tool to allow you to do the process quickly and easily.

Cheers!

Haha, well you got a point! Will analyze first the situation on how we want to handle this migration. Thanks!
