- You will need to upgrade your Perspectium application before Xanadu is released since we will need to use the GlideEncrypter API to migrate your properties over to using the new approach. The GlideEncrypter API is needed to access your current encryption key and MBS credentials from ServiceNow's backend to save back into the system in the password2 field types. Otherwise, if you do not upgrade before then, you will have to manually re-enter your MBS credentials and default encryption keys in the Perspectium Properties page.
- Because this is a third-party library, the performance will be considerably slower than using GlideEncrypter. Since Triple DES as a security encryption standard is no longer a recommended option per NIST-800-131A (and the reason ServiceNow is removing GlideEncrypter), this library is used to provide legacy Triple DES support. It is recommended you change to use a more secure encryption method like AES-128 or AES-256 for configuring your (bulk and dynamic) shares.
- If you were previously using the Perspectium Core application with your properties stored in the sys_properties table, you will need to re-enter your secure properties manually after upgrading. The sys_properties records cannot be accessed to move over.
 NOTE: This is a non-standard approach and not enabled by default (you would worked directly with the Perspectium team to enable this). Contact support@perspectium.com for more information.
