Different username and password fields between versions

I am in the process of moving an organization from ADX Studios to the newer 365 portals and have noticed that different username and password fields are being used in the newer version.

In ADX Studions, fields "adx_username" and "adx_password" are used.

In Portal, fields "adx_identity_username" and "adx_identity_passwordhash" are used.

We have thousands of existing users with their login details saved in the first two fields that won't be able to login unless I can configure Portals to use the original fields.

Can anyone offer advice? I've played around with several site settings without any succcess so far.

Thanks

RE: Different username and password fields between versions

In my experience the only option is you will need to send registration codes to the users for the new portal. This is because of how passwords are encrypted and stored in ADX. You can't simple migrate the passwords over to the new portal. What is sounds like is your ADX Studio portal is using the old form of authentication (Local Login). The new form of authentication uses ASP.NET Identity Authentication. Again, due to encryption of passwords, you won't be able to migrate them, you will need to send invitation codes so the person can link the updated password and user name to the contact record, to prevent duplicate creation.
