Keep preferences when renaming user when using direct LDAP connection

With direct connection from Rational Change to a corporate LDAP server (Change 5.3.2.2), the possibility to rename the ID of users while keeping their existing preferences has been removed.
In RDS this was possible by a combination of setting the "Synergy Account" and exporting/importing preferences (including extended preferences like Home Pages).

With direct connection to RDS, all preferences have been moved to a data store that cannot be manipulated directly.

We need either an export/text manipulation/import mechanism or a direct APIs to rename a user
