SOLVED: Had to retire a domain, new domain is named same but it won't link logins to the "new" AD from "old" accounts

This is probably a weird case. I had GitLab authing to my Samba AD, and then had to create a new domain on a new server because the old Samba VM got corrupted. Everything is the same – same usernames, same sAMAccountNames, etc. but when I log in as “starkruzr” I get a “brand new” account and it says my account @ is “starkruzr1” instead of “starkruzr.” How do I fix this mapping? Where is it located?

Thanks!

ETA: Figured this out myself. The mapping between users and DNs is in the “identities” table in the Gitlab Postgres instance (accessible via gitlab-psql). My DNs were different because I had switched to Samba and it builds them differently. So I deleted the new one and put its DN into the DN field for the “old” user identity. Poof, it works!

Poof! Love when that happens!

Thanks for coming back and letting us know how you solved for this, @starkruzr! Hope to see you more around the community forum!
