3.11 Exporting the Database

IMPORTANT:The Advanced Authentication upgrade is not supported from Advanced Authentication 5.6 to upcoming 6.0 version. Therefore, it is required to export the database, install, and configure 6.0 version, and import the database in the appliance.

    • Shared Authenticators

    • Emergency Passwords

NOTE:The exported database does not include configuration of the following sections:

  • Web Authentication

    The exported database file is saved in the .cpt format on your local drive.
