Crowd 4.2 Upgrade Notes

Crowd 4.2.0

Password encryption

Starting from Crowd 4.2 all passwords for external systems stored in Crowd are encrypted by default. If you're an upgrading user, your passwords stored in Crowd will be encrypted automatically during upgrade to Crowd 4.2 or later. 

Staring from Crowd 4.2 it's crucial to make sure you backup your encryption keys. Without them you won't be able to properly restore Crowd from backup.

How do I backup and restore keys?

The keys are stored in the shared folder {crowdHome}/shared/keys. To backup the keys copy the mentioned directory to the secure place.


To correctly restore from backup with encrypted passwords, corresponding keys must be present in the {crowdHome}/shared/keys, otherwise Crowd won’t be able to decrypt passwords.
