Change database credentials

The following two methods could be used to change the database credentials of SigningHub:

Change database credentials via SigningHub installer

Database credentials stored by SigningHub and the ADSS Signing Server are encrypted for security purposes. If you need to make any changes in your database server configurations, then these changes must be reflected in the SigningHub and ADSS Signing Server installations for the signing operations to continue.

Visit Ascertia's Partner Portal for instructions to change the ADSS Signing Server database credentials.

  1. SigningHub provides an option through the installer to update the following types of database-related information:

    1. Database username and password

    2. Database name and/or server (in case if database is restored from the production database, otherwise you need to install with the existing database option)

    3. Authentication types (from SQL Server to Windows authentication and vice versa)

Click Next on the Welcome screen:

From the System Requirements screen, once all the requirements have been verified, click the Next button:

The Installation Type screen will appear. Select the option shown below:

  1. Username and Password must not contain the following characters: [] \ {} () , : ? * = ! @ | <> = ; ' "" & . These characters are used to either initialise a connection or separate connection values, and a few are not allowed in XML. For Microsoft SQL Server reference, see the link; for Oracle reference, see the link.

Click the Next button, and then the 'Finish' button to update the database configurations.

Change database credentials via XML

Silent installation via XML refers to a method of installing SigningHub silently or without user interaction using an XML file as a configuration or parameter file. In this approach, the installer reads instructions from an XML file to perform the installation without requiring any user input. Given below is a list of parameters to be configured for changing the database credentials via XML. Click here for a detailed breakdown of each component in the XML file, indicating its purpose and visibility settings for a silent installation scenario.
