Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 3
Situation
MIGGUI caches usernames and displays them in a drop-down list for selection. When entering a username, MIGGUI also auto-fills the field with entries from this cache. If there is a typo in one of the cached usernames, the auto-fill will make it impossible to clear the entry or correct it. Mixed cases in username syntax can cause MIGGUI to fail.
Resolution
Edit the /opt/novell/migration/plugin/conf/migration.history file and remove entries beginning with...
MIGFW_SOURCE_USERNAME and MIGFW_TARGET_USERNAME
For example...
MIGFW_SOURCE_USERNAME::CN=ADMINnovell,ou=admins,o=tree
MIGFW_TARGET_USERNAME::CN=ADMINnovell,ou=admins,o=tree
