Hello,

How do I successfully migrate credentials from one box to another? Because, the credentials in ${JENKINS_HOME}/credentials.xml are hashed.

Please help, as it's really becoming a tedious job to re-enter all the credentials after migrating.

I would have migrated the encryption keys that way the encrypted values would be the same

More information: All of jenkins home is in a seperate volume which I'm detaching and attaching onto a new VM.. (I've seen this link before also).. But it still doesn't work..

Right, but where are those keys stored at? ${JENKINS_HOME} is on a seperate volume which I literally detach and re-attach on the new VM.. So those keys have to be outside the ${JENKINS_HOME}, but where?

JENKINS_HOME/secrets

Specifically you will want JENKINS_HOME/secrets/master.key and JENKINS_HOME/secrets/hudson.util.Secret
