Migrate RDM SQL users to DVLS users

Ctrl + k

Published 10 months ago

We are currently trialling DVLS as a better solution to using RDM with a MS SQL DB.
Steps so far:
Backed up our existing RDM DB and restored to a new MS SQL DB
Confirmed RDM was able to connect to the restored DB
Ran the DVLS "New - IIS Server Instance - Migrate SQL Server Data Source"

I can now see all of our Vault entries and users
How do i now convert all of our Users from Database Users to DVLS User type as this does not seem to occur during the migration wizard?
There appears to be no option within DVLS to do this

RDM v2025.1.38.0 64-bit
DVLS v2025.1.9.0 (May 14, 2025)

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

You can use the Authentication migration tool in the DVLS web UI.

Let us know if that works.

Best regards,

Thanks
But there is no Authentication Migration Option icon unless I first select another authentication method (eg Microsoft), save and then return to the page.
Then when I click the Authentication Migration icon,
Second Step of migration wizard, then has
First column (Source) : Devolutions Server | Database | Microsoft
2nd Column (Destination) : Microsoft

It does not have an option combination of Database to Devolutions Server

Hello David,

Migrating users from the database to Devolutions Server directly is not an available option. The purpose of the migration tools is to transition your database users to an Identity Provider (IdP), which allows for centralized user management and, most importantly, preserves personal vaults and existing permission sets.

Best regards,
