Before using the default vault, you should migrate any existing MFDS secure data to the vault. Then you can configure MFDS
to use the vault.
Migrate MFDS secure data to the vault
If you have used Transport Layer Security (TLS) or External Security with previous versions of MFDS, you need to migrate
this information to the vault before configuring MFDS to use it.
- To stop the
Micro Focus Directory Server:
- On Windows:
- Run
services.msc to open the Windows Service Manager.
- In the Services list, click
Micro Focus Directory Server.
- To stop the service, click
Stop.
- On UNIX:
- In the home sidebar of the Enterprise Server Administration page, click
Shut Down.
Alternatively:
- From an
Visual COBOL command prompt, in the
$COBDIR directory, type:
mfds -s
- At an
Visual COBOL command prompt, type:
mfds --vault-migrate
Configure MFDS to use the default vault

configure your system to use it:
- If the
Micro Focus Directory Server service is running, stop the service. See the steps above for more information.
- Set the following system environment variable:
MFDS_USE_VAULT=Y
- Restart the
Micro Focus Directory Server.
When MFDS is configured correctly, the text
[Vault enabled] is displayed on the
Enterprise Server Administration home page in the top right corner above the licensing status:
