Migrate a local user to domain user
I would like to migrate a local user to a domain user like forsenit migration tool offers for windows. This could be a very useful tool/script
It looks like this is a possible solution, considering testuser as the username to migrate to [email protected]:
- Create the new domain user just by loggin in with [email protected]
- Create a new admin user and login with that
- Delete the /home/[email protected] folder
- Rename the old home folder /home/testuser to /home/[email protected]
- Do a
sudo chown -R [email protected]:[email protected] /home/[email protected] - Login with [email protected] and you should be done
The only "problems" I found is some leftover from the oldusr in some conf files:
sudo grep -R testuser 2>/dev/null

Seahorse apparently sync the domain password with the local user password after a couple of login. An ultimate issue is there: ecryptfs-migrate-home cannot still be used with domain users. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1630477
