Change Backend Database

If you want to change the backend database to MS SQL Server, you can change your backend database from the default PostgreSQL to MS SQL server. When you change the backend, you will be starting afresh - that means, your existing data in PostgreSQL will not be migrated. To change the backend database from the default PostgreSQL to MS SQL Server, follow the steps below:

  • Stop Securden PAM Service from services.msc (in the machine in which Securden is installed)
  • Navigate to /bin folder and execute ChangeDatabase.exe and in the GUI, supply SQL instance name, database name, username, and password to connect to the database.
  • Now, start the Securden PAM Service from services.msc (you may ignore the other service named Securden Web Service, which is automatically taken care of)
  • Connect to the web interface https://:5959 (or) https://:5959
  • Clear browser cache.
