Try syncing LDAP users with this script:

Thank you for pointing to that external script. I guess this should be run from wekan pod because of the "env" stuff inside script? Is there any syntax or just start script without any parameters.

That MONGO_URL should have access to MongoDB database, because it directly syncs between MongoDB and LDAP.

For dependencies at the start of script, you should install them, like for example:

pip install ldap pymongo

Or using package manager:

sudo apt -y install python3-ldap python3-pymongo

For any env( , those need to be in bash or bat script, for example, at Linux:

start.sh

export MONGO_URL=...

python3 ldap-sync.py

start.bat

SET MONGO_URL=...

python3 ldap-sync.py

Although, it would be better to integrate these directly to WeKan LDAP Javascript code:

Thanks for info in regard how to run that ldap-script. For our problem we changed the username in MongoDB directly over mongo shell:

mongosh

show dbs
use wekan
show collections

db.users.find( {} )

With " db.users.find( {} ) " we geht _id which we can use to change the username. For example "_id: "MuBraazRKxCZTmNav"".

db.users.update(
   { _id: "MuBraazRKxCZTmNav" },
   {
     $set: {
       username: "x.useratdomain.com"
     }
   }
)
