Import Credentials

rob.hock - is there a super-secret migration tool for this?

What products do we have installed?

From my experience, since the credentials are encrypted in the database and require the SolarWinds-Orion cert and other certs on the Orion install usually to decrypt, just moving that information causes issues.  We've actually been standing up a new environment here, and rather than start new, we backed up the database and restored into the SQL server for the new implementation keeping us from having to worry about porting the credentials.

We currently have NPM, NCM, NTA and IPam installed. We are planning on a new installing of these four modules, then adding VMan and WPM. SMan, too, but that's stand-alone.

Thanks for the feedback. I am aware of the certificates issue, and I guess all I'm asking is if the credentials exist in a single SQL table. We have debated the merits of importing the existing SQL database to the new SQL server, and may yet do so. But this is a large deployment and we believe that the database as it exists is so cluttered that a fresh installation would be better.

For the most part there are two tables for any non-snmp based credentials. These are the Credential and CredentialProperty tables.   The Nodes table holds all SNMP information.
