Migration Issues for InterBase 15

ODS 17/18 to ODS 19
admin.ib and EUA databases: ODS 19 will support SHA-256 password digest for user accounts. SHA-1 and DES-CRYPT will continue to be supported in non-FIPS environments.
- Migration: To use SHA-256 password digest for user accounts (mandatory for FIPS environments), recreate InterBase user accounts on admin.ib with ODS 19 (with default SHA-256 password digest). If you just restore/copy an admin.ib, from IB2020 or prior, it will only allow the weaker digest algorithms DES-CRYPT and SHA-1 digest accounts.
Old clients (IB2020 and prior) will not be able to connect to new server accounts with SHA-256 password digests. Use new InterBase clients to connect.
ODS 19 EUA databases, cannot be restored back to ODS 18, if embedded user accounts have SHA-256 password digests.
InterBase 15 will not have any support for DES encryption.
- All server-based Editions, and ToGo Edition, will support AES encryption strengths 128/192/256.
- AES encryption default strength will be 256 bits, the strongest available in InterBase; versions 2020 and prior had a default of 128 bits.
If migrating EUA/Encrypted databases from (version 2020 and prior) to InterBase 15, execute following steps:
- Using InterBase 2020, convert your database to use AES encryption instead of DES. Then, backup the database and restore into InterBase 15 instance
