These instructions explain how to migrate the user accounts and user groups from one authentication provider to another. Note that all the providers listed in Administration – Server settings – Authentication can be migrated to and from one another. Microsoft to Microsoft migration, however, requires a tenant change to work. SQL users cannot be migrated to.
The tool can be found in three locations on the web interface of your Devolutions Server instance:
Administration – Server settings – Authentication
Administration – Users
Administration – User groups
To migrate users and user groups to the same Identity provider (for example: Active Directory to another Active Directory), the information under Administration – Server settings – Authentication must be changed to the new domain before using the authentication migration tool.
