Can you pre-populate users?

I am considering using eZ Publish for a community site that I must build.

Our existing site has ~300,000 existing members. I do not want these members to have to re-register.

Is it possible to pre-populate the eZ Publish database with our existing user data? I would be using the Oracle extension.

Yes, certainly. The eZ api is there to facilitate this.

You do need to make sure that username length and password hash types are compatible and other user details can map correctly.
