Let's just say that whatever LDAPUserFolder version you ran with Zope  
2.5.1 has long since passed into the "unsupported" pile...

- Get the latest released LDAPUserFolder version and install it into  
your new Zope 2.8-based instance
- Make a backup copy of your old ZODB
- Log into a 2.5.1-based instance as the emergency user (-> see doc/ 
SECURITY.txt in your 2.5.1 Zope installation about how to create one)  
- if you don't have a LDAPUserFolder in the Zope root you can skip  
that and log in as a Manager user from the root user folder
- Delete every single LDAPUserFolder instance you have
- Stop Zope
- Copy the Data.fs into your Zope 2.8-based sandbox
- If you had a LDAPUserFolder at the root, make sure you're set up  
for an emergency user
- Start Zope and log in either as an emergency user or a root user  
folder manager
- Recreate all LDAPUserFolder instances.
