Description

After PAM has been declared as the authentication mechanism for Ambari clients (for example, the Ambari Server web-based UI) where previously the mechanism was LDAP, a migration process is needed to converts the LDAP users and groups to PAM users and groups.

This facility may be invoked using:

ambari-server migrate-ldap-pam
