How to migrate existing AAD auth users to SAML auth?

Hi Team,

We are using SonarQube Enterprise Edition with Version 8.9.7 LTS and we are integrating SAML for user authentication with it. Currently, SonarQube is integrated with Microsoft AAD and around 300+ users are already registered and using it.

Note: The configuration is done for SAMl integration but authentication is yet to enable as SonarQube is giving below error if users are trying to log in using SAML.
“Reason: This account is already associated with another authentication method. Sign in using the current authentication method, or contact your administrator to transfer your account to a different authentication method.”

It can happen that after some time, a SonarQube administrator may need to change the Identity Provider that their users authenticate with. In particular, there are many organizations making the switch from LDAP Authentication to SAML Authentication for their applications. This guide aims to make it clear how to migrate those users from one Identity Provider to another, f…
