We were wondering what would happen to all the existing clients/customers/users in our WebHelpDesk data base if we turn off the LDAP connection. We discovered that our organization's policies will not allow us to run multiple authentication platforms when we make our db forward facing.
So we are moving our application to a DMZ and just plan on moving forward with manually created accounts.
We are thinking, if we disconnect the LDAP, that the existing accounts will remain the same. Just when they need to reset their password, they will have to do it manually and not count on our domain services to automatically update the password change.
Making any sense?
