Accounts provider
=================

You should install an account provider before starting the migration procedure.
If you choose to have a Samba DC, remember to fully configure the DC before
executing the ``migration-import`` event.
You should configure an :ref:`accounts provider <account-providers>` before
starting the migration procedure.

* If the source system was joined to an Active Directory domain (Samba server
role was ADS), configure a *remote Active Directory* accounts provider.

* If the source system was a NT Primary Domain Controller (Samba server role was
ADS) install a *local Active Directory* accounts provider.

* If access to Shared Folders on the destination system requires user
authentication, install a *local Active Directory* accounts provider.

* In any other case, install a *local LDAP* accounts provider.

.. warning::

If you choose a local Active Directory accounts provider, remember to
fully configure and start the DC before executing the ``migration-import`` event.
See :ref:`account-providers`.
