Hello  
I use Keycloak version 17  
I have migrate a keycloak installation from on VM to another using the import /export Realms function.  
My keycloak serve an nextcloud login.  
My Keycloak get the user from an openldap server

But in the new Keycloak I get new ID for all user…  
And Nexcloud use this ID to identify the login user.  
=\> now when connecting to nextcloud, all user have a new empy account… (the old account exist but is no more accessible through keycloak login)

Is there a way to change the ID number of a user ?  
I did not found a way in the web interface.  
Is it possible directly in the database?

Thanks
