Hi there

I'm going to be migrating all of the data in our current bug reporting system to BugNet. I'm sure I'm going to have a bunch of problems / queries but the first is to do with the user records.

Our current system basically has one user table so it should be pretty easy to manage but I'm not sure if it's possible to just copy it over, especially since I won't be able to copy over the passwords as the systems are too different.

My query is, would it be possible copy over the user data (username, name, email, etc) and then flag something so the system will email the users to alert them that they need to set a password, or have had a random one generated for them?

I've also heard murmurings about being able to connect the system to Active Directory, would that solve the problem?

Any and all advice is appreciated.
