Migration of users without password generation

amar.sibia

Hi,

we are looking for a mechanism to migrate users into our system, we are planning a segment/team by segment approach. However, users will not have passwords managed with FusionAuth, they will login via a login provider (SAMLv2 based). We need to migrate details about users into fusion in advance of the user first accessing the system. Is there a good way to create/migrate users into FusionAuth without a password being required as they will never need to login with one?

We have a general guide that covers migration. This might not solve your immediate problem, but could also offer you some insights as well on a broader scale.

https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/guides/migration/#:~:text=Migrate when a user authenticates,user's system of record changes.

Connectors come to mind for this use case, but I am not 100 percent certain they fit your use case.

Or possibly using the user API to ingest from your SAML provider beforehand but setting up dummy passwords (seems less secure, however ).

Let me consider this further and I will post back any thoughts.

Thanks,
Josh
