"G Patena" | What is the proper way to change the encryption password on an existing
ElevateDB Server V2.03? I did the following and it did not work. Stopped the server Close EDBSRVR Edit the INI and added the following entry: Encryption Password=abcdefgmypasswordxyz Saved the INI. When I run the edbsrvr and start the server, it showed the following message: ElevateDB Error #100 There is an error in the metadata for the configuration EDBConfig (The encryption password does not match the default or currenty engine encryption password). What is the correct procedure of changing the Encryption Password? Thanks, George Patena |

You can't just change the encryption password on an existing configuration. Instead, you need to change the password, erase the existing configuration file (edbconfig.edbcfg) and then recreate your configuration information (databases, users, roles, and jobs) in a new configuration file that is created using the new encryption password. You're also going to need to recreate any tables that were marked as encrypted (.edbtbl and .edbidx, and, optionally, .edbblb and .edbpbl files). -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

OK. Good that I am just starting configuring the server. So it is good to know that if encryption is required, the first task is to change the default password. Thanks, George |
