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
