Hi
First of all you will need to do this in a test environment, to make sure how everything works, which the important IDs are and so on.
1. If your are going to use LDAPS and your ldapserver uses a certificate that is not issued by an Issuer defined in the standard java cacert store. Then you will need to import the issuer certificate. To do so, you will need to download and save it.
Then on the ALM server start a cmd-prompt as Admininstrator and run something like this. Paths can differ depending on where installation was done.
"C:\Program Files\HP\ALM\java\jre\bin\keytool" -keystore "C:\Program Files\HP\ALM\java\jre\lib\security\cacerts" -storepass changeit -import -trustcacerts -file "c:\temp\Issuer_cert.crt" -alias Issuer_cert
More information can be found in the installation documentation.
3. Switching to LDAP will only change the authentication/login everything else will be the same.
When we did the migration we made a (vb)script that was using OTA, that looped through all users and read/searched in the ldap server for the correct user and then wrote the correct fiels back.
It is a bit to complicated to explain in detail here.
In your case I would have checked how everyting looks in the database after importing a user from the ldap. Then get a list of all users in the ldap and then created inserts to the USERS_AUTH_DATA-table and executed them direcly to the database
