Reconcilliation with E-Business Suite and OID using DIP?

Question

I am planning a E-Business Suite (11.5.10) / SSO (IDM 10.1.4.0.1) implementation using AD sync and WNA. On both the AD and E-Business Suite sides there are existing users with account names that do, and do not match. We would like to reconcile these existing accounts as part of the initial load into OID, rather than use the "link on the fly" or "auto link user" capabilities to link users on first login. I cannot see in the documentation how this would be approached using the DIP. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and if so point me in the right direction?

You can do this by first loading your existing ActiveDirectory accounts to OID, and then updating the USER_GUID field on FND_USER table with the corresponding orclguid of the user entry on OID.
You can either update this table directly or use the FND_USER_PKG api. There are some notes on Metalink about this but they are intented for when you delete and recreate a user account with the same login. (ex, note 399117.1). But dont expect much help from support if you have trouble.
Also you can expect to have some trouble since there will be some logins only on Oracle Applications and your network admin might creates a new account with a login that already exists on Oracle Applications and is linked to a different login on the network.
