Question

Migrating User to a new Application

0

Our team developed a new version of our app as a second Mendix application. Updating the existing was not going to work. Now we want to migrate the users from the old database into the new database without forcing them to create a new account. Does anyone know how we would do this? Thanks

You can export the users and import them into the new application.

The issue that then remains is the passwords that can’t be exported and imported while keeping them intact. So you’ll need to implement a function to reset the passwords and make sure the user changes their password after first login. Or maybe use the forgot password module from the appstore (https://appstore.home.mendix.com/link/app/1296/Mendix/Forgot-Password-module) to allow the passwords to be scrambled after the import and allow for setting a new password.
