Change this master password to be something more secure

[Former Member]

Issue We are experiencing the same problem as discussed within this expert chat post: https://answers.sap.com/questions/12757215/changing-or-migrating-symmetrickeymasterpassword.html

We have existing data within a production environment which is encrypted at database level using the Transparent Attribute Encryption system.

This existing data is encrypted using the Hybris "default-128-bit-aes-key.hybris" default key, which uses the default "symmetric.key.master.password" value of "1234567".

We wish to change this master password to be something more secure when generating a new encryption key, but as we have data encrypted with the default key/master password, we now cannot update the master password.

The answer on the experts chat: https://answers.sap.com/answers/12785916/view.html suggests that a Key transfer script can be obtained through support.

Does such a script exist, or are there any other possibilities to resolve this problem?
