Thread:Extension talk:LDAP Authentication/Is there a way to copy Usersettings between users

Hi

We are about to change one of our internal wikis to use LDAP Authentication, but have arrived at a minor stumbling block. Our old username were (for a given User Firstname Lastname) LastnameF. When intergrating LDAP, there will be created new users Lastnamef. Since many of our users have changed their settings (and don't know what they changed anymore), I'm looking for a way to copy these settings from the old user to the new one, at leat if ther is such a way.

The mediawikiversion is 1.15.1 and the version of the extension will be the latest fitting to that.

I have already implemented LDAP in a new wiki I created with restricted access (not everyone can use that one), but since it was a new wiki, there was no problem with change of usernames.

Thanks in advance,
