What happens if you delete a user who is related to JIRA issue from LDAP?

Hello there,

Anyone knows what happens if you delete a user from LDAP who is related to JIRA issue, say that user is an assignee, reporter, or has commented on an issue?

Please advise.

Regards,

From http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/User+Management+Limitations+and+Recommendations

Be careful when deleting users in remote directories. If you are connecting to an LDAP directory, a Crowd directory or a remote JIRA directory, please take care when deleting users from the remote directory. If you delete a user that is associated with data in JIRA, this will cause problems in JIRA. We recommend that you perform all user management in JIRA, because the JIRA UI will prevent the deletion of a user if there are issues assigned to the user, reported by the user or the user is a project lead.

Probably would be best if you set user to inactive instead or delete from Jira.
