Using Output translation for SP2013 Target sites (4266578)

When migrating from Lotus Notes to SP2013 sites using LDAP for user lookup the users will migrate however when reviewing the User Information List (/_catalogs/users/simple.aspx) entries have appeared for the authors of the documents that are not correct.

They are not correct because on closer inspection the Account name displays only the domain/user and is not prefixed with the claims-based string that SP2013 automatically assigns.

To workaround this issue you must ensure you use the Output Translation feature from the NMSP client.

From the Notes Migrator for SharePoint Options | User Mapping tab there is a field that allows you to enter Output Translation. When migrating to a SP2013 site this translation must include a string to ensure all accounts that are resolved are written to SharePoint containing the correct claims-based user string.

To identify the claims-based string in your environment and to configure Output Translation please do the following:

1. Open up a SharePoint 2013 site and add /_catalogs/users/simple.aspx to the end of the site collection URL.
2. The User Information List will appear. Click on a user account and review the Account entry for this user. The string should be something similar to i:0#.w|domain\user
3. Your claims-based string is the first part before the domain entry.
4. Configure the Output Translation field with an entry like this i:0#.w|{0}
5. Modify the characters before the {0} to match the string you found in step 2.
6. Run your migration again
7. If your User Information List contains users already that have an incorrect account string then these must be removed from the list first before migration.
