Essbase security Migration from native mode to external authentication

Question

Hi!!
I want some guidance on setting up security, all the users are currently in Native user mode and Native groups.
Now we want to migrate to external mode, current version of hyperion is 11.1.1.3, any steps to follow in
this direction would be really helpful.
What is the best way of migrating huge user base from native directory to setting up for external authentication,
this is the first time move from native to external authentication, If anyone who has done this will be helpful.
steps to setup , maxl based migration will be helpful or utility based.
Thanks

Answer 1

When you say native mode do you mean that that essbase security is in native mode and you want to convert to shared services security mode,or do you mean you are using shared services securtiy with native users and you want to use an external directory like MSAD.
For your question ::
Yes the first piece is correct, our security is in native mode.
and we want to convert to shared services security mode,
The request involves moving from essbase native mode to Shared services native user mode (moving all the existing users, groups and existing provisioning)
The next stage is moving from Shared services native user mode to external directory. (moving all the existing users, groups and existing provisioning)
Your input will guide me in the direction.
Thanks
