Just-in-time (JIT) migration moves a customer's account to a new identity provider the moment they sign in for the first time after the switch, rather than importing every account upfront.
Frequently asked questions
What happens during a JIT migration sign in?
The system checks whether the account already exists. If not, it retrieves the customer's data from the legacy system, verifies the password they entered against that legacy system, and creates the account in the new system once authentication succeeds.
What's needed to support JIT migration?
An integration with the legacy customer store, usually through custom scripts, hooks, or API integration, along with logging to track migration activity and verify successful account migration.
