Database upgrade from 6.1 to 7/ DXP

[6年前 に Ashwini Sidhanti によって更新されました。]

Hello Everyone,

I am doing a database upgrade from Liferay 6.1 to Liferay 7(Locally)
Steps I followed are:
1.) created a new database with the old dump.
2.) Created a .cfg file to disable Indexing.
3.) Used the DBupgardetool. (was successful)
But when I tried to log in with the existing user it gives me "Authentication Failed " Error.

Please let me know if I missed any step here. It will be very helpful.
Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Ashwini Sidhanti

Just a quick idea, without much research: Did you apply the legacy properties? The default password encryption of 6.1 was different to the current one, and it may be that Liferay just doesn't have a clue how the passwords in your database are hashed.
(You'll find legacy properties in WEB-INF/classes, they contain changes to default values that were made in each release. Inspect them and apply as needed)

Hi Ashwini,

In 6.2 we changed the algorithm to encrypt passwords, every upgrade from 6.1 should include the following property with the algorithm you used in 6.1:

passwords.encryption.algorithm.legacy=SHA

You don't need to repeat the upgrade, it's enough if you include that property before starting your Liferay 7/DXP server.

Thanks for the quick reply Alberto and Olaf. It was very helpful.
But restarting the server didn't help me. I had to repeat the whole process again.
I have a small question.
When user reset the password, the passwords would be hashed with the new algorithm or with the old algorithm?

Hi Ashwini,

I'm glad that it worked.

As far as I know, once a user enter a new password, it will be encrypted with the new algorithm.

Best regards.
