I am using quite an old version 2.0 of OpenKM. I am curious if i am able to migrate from 2.0 to the latest version 5.1.9?

I can see that there is a great modification till the latest version.

Any advise or recommendation?

Thanks in advance.

ufff we are talking about very older openkm version that is not supported from some years, uffff

You can take a look at http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Migration_Guide but really will be a tedious migration between versions. I suggest the easiest way, that's export and import to 5.1.9. I suggest you backup version 2.0 ( and leave it stopped on the server as is ). You should re-create users and set privileges to repository, but it'll be the easiest to you, because from version 2.0 to 5.x the repository structure has really great changes and will be difficult migration.

you can contact with us if you want we migrate it ( in wiki points to same option ).

haha i guess it too. just trying my luck.

But would it be possible that i can re-use the user table database from OpenKM 2.0 in version 5.1.9, by amending login-config.xml to refer to that specific table?
I also realized that the hashAlgorithm is different.

No possible, because the okm-app has more tables than login and are used by application ( you could define other poll one for normal okm_app and other for your users ... that will be a bad idea too, because application internally will use some information from users tables ).

The solution could be re-recreate password for all users and let him change it from UI. The linux command is
echo -n some_password | md5sum
