EC 11.1.x has a bug [OC-11384] when an LDAP user attempts to create a new account 
that has never existed in the Enterprise Chef database before, rather than linking 
with an existing internal user. 

Please apply the attached patch to your EC 11.1.x release:

  $ cd /opt/opscode/embedded/service/gem/ruby/1.9.1/bundler/gems/mixlib-authorization-c03f584a371b
  $ patch -p1 < /tmp/cache/ec11.1-ldap500error.patch 
  patching file lib/opscode/models/user.rb
  $ private-chef-ctl restart opscode-account

Customer Scenario

A customer has an OPC 1.4.x HA installation in Production. They want to test an in-place upgrade from OPC 1.4.x all the way through to EC11.1.6 using their current OPC Production data and config. This gives us a good chance to make corrections if we find that their data is too broken for the migrations to handle, and gives the customer experience in managing the upgrade in Production.

The sequence of events will broadly be these:

• Install OPC 1.4.11 on target HA Test cluster
• Restore data from Production OPC 1.4.11 instance LVM snapshot backup produced by our drbd-backups script
• Test

Understanding the layers

1. ext4 (/var/opt/opscode/drbd/data)
2. drbd device (pc0)
3. LVM Logical Volume (/dev/opscode/data)
4. LVM Volume Group (opscode)
