Migrating Schema Entries to the Latest Encryption

Schema Migration is the first tab of the Database Schema Password Manager. This tab is used to migrate the Non-PADSS or OLD PADSS encrypted password entries to the most recent encryption; therefore, the tab is only enabled if an entry is using OLD PADSS or NON PADSS encryption. If the schema has all entries on the latest encryption, this tab is not enabled.

To migrate schema entries to the latest encryption:

1. You need to empty the ServiceUrl in the app.config file.
2. To start the Database Schema Password Manager application for database migration process, you have to enter a value in AdminModeDataSource (data source name).
3. Click the Schema tab, and then enter the following information:
   • System User: Enter the database system user name.
   • System Password: Enter the system user password.
   • Schema Name: Enter the schema name.
   • Schema Password: Enter the new password for the schema.
4. Click the Migration button to proceed.
