Migrate Metadata
This section enables administrators to migrate existing resource metadata from legacy cleartext format to encrypted format.
Configuration Options
Items to Migrate
Toggle whether to include resource metadata in the migration. When enabled, the following fields will be encrypted:
- Name
- Username
- URI
- Cleartext Description
If disabled, these fields remain in cleartext form. Passwords are always encrypted regardless of this setting.
Migration Scope
Choose which types of resources to include in the migration:
- All content - Includes both shared and personal resources.
- Shared content only - Only shared resources are migrated.
Important Considerations
Before initiating migration, ensure:
- Encrypted metadata is enabled in the Encrypted Metadata settings
- A shared metadata key has been generated in the Metadata Key settings
- All users who need access to the migrated resources have received the shared metadata key
Best Practice
Always perform a complete backup before starting the migration process. This ensures you can recover if any issues occur during migration.
warning
Migrating content to encrypted metadata might affect integrations that rely on accessing resource metadata in cleartext format.
