LDAP users cannot login if their LDAP uids has changed
Created by: HofmeisterAn
In our environment (GitLab 7.7.2 bd98290) the ldap user is not able login after he was moved to a different OU. The extern_uid field in identities won’t be updated.
Currently I use following workaround:
su - gitlab-psql
/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/psql gitlabhq_production
UPDATE identities SET extern_uid = 'NEW LDAP UID' WHERE id = x;
