How to migrate users from Usermapper to LDAP

Question

Hello, we currently use usermapper on our NAS because we only do CIFS ou NFSv3 access. And now we want to enable mixed access between CIFS and NFSv4. But to do this, we have to use LDAP as mapping service. So, to do this, we have to update all the UID coming from usermapper with the UID coming from LDAP. This mean to change the ACL for all files and the quotas for all users on the NAS. Is there a possibility to do this?

We found another solution. Because we are migrating from a NAS to another, we will use the EMCopy utility to copy file using CIFS. And because we have correctly configured the LDAP resolution on the destination, it will automatically assign the correct UID to the files copied with EMCopy.
