Sync password from OpenLDAP or OID) to Entra ID or AD

Question

Hi

I am trying to find a way to sync users from OpenLDAP (or OID as they are replicated) to Entra ID or AD. I know there is a generic ldap connector for Entra Connect but it is not clear whether it will sync the password or not. Anyone can give me a clear asnwer? The key here is to sync to existing passwords in OpenLDAP to Entra ID or even AD.

My customer wants to get rid of their current directory and move to Entra ID. But changing all the password for every user is not an option. So is there any way to sync the passwords?

@Toni Martínez Apologies for the delayed response, was checking with my team regarding your query - Sync password from OpenLDAP or OID) to Entra ID or AD.

We can't sync passwords from OpenLDAP to Entra ID/on-premise AD. Sync passwords only supported via Entra Connect, Microsoft Entra Connect synchronizes a hash of a user's password from an on-premises Active Directory instance to a cloud-based Microsoft Entra instance.
