Sync OpenLDAP users to Entra ID

Hi, if you're migrating users from OpenLDAP to Entra ID, you won't be able to use Entra Connect like you would with Active Directory. Here are the main steps:

-Use Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM):
Install the sync service on a Windows server and configure the Generic LDAP Connector to connect to your OpenLDAP.

-Configure the LDAP Connector:
Follow the official guide to properly map attributes (such as UPN and username) from OpenLDAP to Entra ID.

-Run a Test Sync:
Perform a full sync and check the logs to ensure that all users are imported correctly.

-Maintain Unified Identity:
During the migration, if some applications remain on-prem and others move to Azure, ensure that each user (e.g., John) retains the same identifier (like UPN) across both environments.
