Once you have migrated between different platforms, login passwords are not compatible. However, sybmigrate allows you to change the password on target Adaptive Server login accounts during the setup session of the migration process in either of two ways:
Let sybmigrate generate a password on the target server. sybmigrate outputs a list of passwords used during migration after the process is complete.
Supply a password file that contains user name and password pairs. sybmigrate sets these passwords on the target server. Thereafter, the System Administrator must run sp_password to create a new password for each login not included in the password file.
After the migration process is complete, the System Administrator must change passwords manually on the target Adaptive Server. The System Administrator must issue sp_password for new login and for each login not reset during the migration process.
In addition to the changing password options, sybmigrate also allows you to lock and unlock target Adaptive Server accounts. This option is provided so that the System Administrator can block a user from logging into the target Adaptive Server during the migration process.
