Duplicate user registration after being moved to a different OU

Users are being registered twice when they log into Foswiki.

We are using the LDAPContrib plugin which maps to our Active Directory (AD) tree. When a user's AD account is moved to a different Organisational Unit (OU) then they log into Foswiki, if they have registered on Foswiki before the OU move, Foswiki will create another username for them (along with a page in the Users web). IE, AndrewJones will become AndrewJones1. I've tried deleting both of the pages in the Users Web (AndrewJones and AndrewJones1), then relogging the user in, but it still returns as AndrewJones1.

Users who have not been moved have no problems.

I've been looking for a file that holds a list of all registered users so I can delete the duplicates, but I'm not sure if one exists. Can anyone advise how to manage this?

Whenever you move users you will have to use

refreshldap=force

instead of a normal

rerfeshldap=on

as a workaround of LdapContrib trying to identify two separate users with the same name working in different organisational units.

This has been reported quite often as people tend to move around objects in their directories every now and then. Using the Distinguishable Name might not be a good way to identify two JohnSmiths.

Thanks Michael. Where do I set that?

Found it.

For anyone else looking for the solution, you just need to access this one in your browser.
