Any way to migrate existing credential from old database to new database?

Angelouse_Tan — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 02:17:00 GMT

Hi ALL

Recent release of BP v6.8 support multi forest authentication, thus our client decided to migrate from existing single AD authentication to multi AD authentication. However, there is a hard requirement to create a new database instead of upgrade from existing database. Our bigger challenge will be those credential created in Credential Manager. Is there any way to migrate the existing credential from old database after new database created ?

Thanks.

Hi Angelouse,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately we can't migrate credentials from one database to another for the security purpose. The basic step will be as below.

Create a release file including all the credentials
Import the release file to the new database
Login to Blue Prism and open each credential to set "Username", "Password" and permission setting

If there is a large number of credentials, it is not easy job. I guess this is your customers situation.

I hope we can provide better migration functionality to Multi-Auth database in the future release.

Cheers,

Nobu
