Notes

  • Post migration, CEE users must raise a "Forgot password" request to login into CTF 6.0. Using the response e-mail, the users can reset their passwords.
  • CEE’s default groups – "**Host Users" and "*Domain Users" are not migrated to CTF 6.0. The default user group associations (role mapping) will not be retained post-migration.
  • The following are the default users in CEE: "guest", "webmaster", "postmaster", "mailer-deamon" and "root". Post-migration, "root" is mapped to "admin" and other default users are mapped to "nobody" in CTF 6.0.
  • Unix system user accounts are not migrated from CEE to CTF 6.0. They are either dropped or renamed.
  • Issue Tracker’s internal users (for example, issues@ert) are mapped to None.
    Note: The users of issues@projectname format are not migrated. All assignments or concepts to such users will be set to "nobody/none" post-migration. The username is modified by replacing "@" with a "hyphen" (for example, issues_ert.)
  • Special Users of CEE are not migrated to CTF 6.0.
  • Secondary email addresses are not migrated to CTF 6.0.
  • Email language feature is not available in CTF 6.0.
  • In CTF 6.0. notification setting is same for all the tools.
