Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.All our users are imported from LDAP with the ldap_feeds importer. I only recently set the unique_persistent_attr and for new users the puid is being set properly. What I want is for existing users to have the puid set on login and/or account update but it is not (I've checked both drupalAcctProvisionTriggers). When using the ldap_users test page and selecting to execute the action, I get a duplicate email address error which I assume means LDAP is trying to create a new user instead of synching with an existing user.
I've tried mapping the objectguid and objectsid in the ldap_feeds importer but that doesn't have a way to convert the binary value (#2053215-5: LDAP Feeds: ldap_feeds does not populate sid, puid or puid_attr).

grahlHi
So this is a known issue in terms of that the PUID is only set on initial creation / association. Since it is a persistent attribute, I don't think it should be able to overwrite this property normally and at most associate a value if present if null. (I'm open to changing my mind on this if someone has a real-world use case.) I have not gotten feedback in the issue queue that this is a particular important issue and it would have to be changed in 8.x, too.
I'm taking the liberty of moving this support request to a postponed feature request and would appreciate if other people would chime in, if they need / want to set puid retroactively. I will expedite it then.
As to your particular approach bulldozer2003, assigning the properties with Feeds seems reasonable. Let's talk more about this in the other issue.

grahlClosing issue as outdated due to no further development on 7.x, if you feel this issue is still relevant and you are willing to work on a patch and/or debug the problem, please reopen.
