StoragePoint 6.1 - Known Issues

Using a semi-colon when providing a password for SQL server authentication results in failed login error

When a user uses SQL Server authentication for the "Access Credentials” and “Database Creation Login Credentials” wizards during configuration and provides a password that uses a semi-colon at the end, clicking  the “Test Connection” button to validate the account results in StoragePoint raising an error, stating “An error occurred: Login failed for user ‘sqluser’”.

Masterkey error after migration (SharePoint 2013/SharePoint 2016)

If a user has moved CDB on to another SQL instance with a different SMK (service master key), the connection between the SMK and DMK will be broken. To work correctly (e.g. a STP upgrade) with those CDBs, StoragePoint needs to regenerate the DMK with the following SQL query:

OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '<DMK password>'; -- password used to protect DMK on previous/source SQL instance

ALTER MASTER KEY REGENERATE WITH ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '<new or the same DMK password>'; -- could be used the same password but this one will be "secured" by target SQL instance SMK

CLOSE MASTER KEY;

You do not need to regenerate DMK if CDB does not have DMK or if the existing DMK is working correctly.
