Export the Encryption Key

  • Article

If you are migrating from Host Integration Server 2000, you must export the encryption key. The encryption key is a security device that Host Integration Server 2000 uses to encrypt user passwords. It must be backed up because the migration utility will need it as part of the migration process.

To export the encryption key

  1. Click Start, click Run, and then type cmd.

  2. Locate the Host Integration Server 2000 installation directory.

  3. Type udbkey /showkey >hostseckey.bak to back up the key into a file.

  4. Protect the file securely.
