Notes

  • Post migration, CEE users must raise a "Forgot password" request to login into CTF 17.11. 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 17.11. 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 17.11.
  • Unix system user accounts are not migrated from CEE to CTF 17.11. They are either dropped or renamed.
  • Issue Tracker’s internal users (for example, issues@ert) are mapped to "Nobody".
    Note: Users of the form issues@projectname are not migrated. All assignments or concepts to such users will be set to "nobody/none" after migration.
  • Special Users of CEE are not migrated to CTF 17.11.
  • CEE allows users to add up to four secondary email addresses to their accounts. In CTF the supported alternate (secondary) email addresses are three. The first three secondary emails are migrated to CTF; the fourth email address is not migrated.
  • Email language feature is not available in CTF 17.11.
  • In CTF 17.11. notification setting is same for all the tools.
