Hi!
After seeing the warning "This entry type is deprecated and will eventually be removed ..." I converted all legacy Website entries using advanced search in RDM (filter by connection type)
Select all > Right click > Edit > Edit (special actions) > Web > Convert Website (legacy) to Website
That worked for shared vaults in RDM, but it doesn't work for user vaults, and especially not for users that don't use RDM.
So my feature request would be a way in DVLS web to be able to search all legacy entries and if possible convert them. Currently you can't select the legacy connection type for filtering entries.
Or, just do the conversion automatically during a database update, if that's possible.
Thanks!
Daniel
Hi,
Thank you for writing to us.
It would absolutely make sense to migrate the legacy Website entries. I understand that the process may be a bit complicated at the moment.
I will create an internal ticket on our side and discuss the best approach for migrating those entries.
I’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more information or a fix available.
Thank you,
Marc-Andre Bouchard
Thank you!
Hello,
Thank you for being so patient!
I am pleased to inform you that the requested feature has been added in the latest Devolutions server version (2026.3.6.0):
https://docs.devolutions.net/server/getting-started/installation/upgrade-server
We also recommend that you first perform the update in a staging/test environment:
https://docs.devolutions.net/server/kb/how-to-articles/create-server-staging-instance
We also offer free upgrade sessions, during which we will update your Devolutions Server instance together. If you are interested in this, please send an email to service@devolutions.net
If the problem persists after the update, please let us know so we can inform our development team.
Best regards,

Hi Maxim!
We now upgraded to DVLS 2026.2 and I saw the notice and a button to convert an individual "Website (legacy)" entry when it is open, but I didn't find a way to convert all legacy entries at once - not in a user's vault, nor globally for all vaults. I also can't filter for that connection type in advanced search.
I would have expected the entries to be converted automatically during the database update.
The current implementation is better than the old one that needed RDM, but I still don't know how many legacy entries there are left in user vaults, if any. I would have to do a SQL query and instruct users to convert them one by one themselves.
Did I miss something?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Daniel
Hello Daniel,
Thank you for your feedback.
Here is the online documentation for converting Website (legacy) entry types. Users must convert them themselves in their user vault. Please note that any shared vault security must be set to Standard. If the vault security level is set to High, the conversion will fail.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi Érica!
Users must convert them themselves in their user vault.
I know, and that works, but only for one item at a time. I think it would make sense to do it automatically, or at least to have the ability to convert multiple at once.
User's don't know about the legacy entries unless they view one in DVLS web.
Best regards,
Daniel
Hello Daniel,
Thank you for your feedback.
You are right that there is no automated method nor bulk updates in the user vault to convert these Website (Legacy) entries. Additionally, they cannot see these entries as legacy until they check in their user vault on the DVLS web UI or in RDM. It's not visible on the Devolutions Workspace browser extension.
I'll report this to the development team and get back to you.
Best regards,

Hello Daniel,
Thank you for being so patient.
Since you are still using version 2026.2, once you update to version 2026.3, all existing Website (Legacy) entries, including those in user vaults, will be converted to Website entries during the upgrade.
Until you update, the users can do it one by one in their user vault.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Best regards,

Hello Erica!
Sorry, I misread the version number. A user noticed the new convert button in 2026.2, and I assumed this change was implemented in 2026.2 already.
I'll check again after we have upgrade to 2026.3.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Daniel
