Migration of users without password generation
-
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.
Connectors come to mind for this use case, but I am not 100 percent certain they fit your use case.
https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/connectors/Or possibly using the user API to ingest from your SAML provider beforehand but setting up dummy passwords (seems less secure, however ).
https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/users/Let me consider this further and I will post back any thoughts.
Thanks,
Josh
