Abstract
A method is disclosed for migrating a client domain involving identifying a user account entry in a client domain's password table, where the entry includes a user identifier and a first hashed password value, where the first hashed password value is derived from hashing a user password with a client domain hash algorithm. The first hashed password value is re-hashed using a multi-tenant system hash algorithm to obtain a second hashed password value. Another user account entry is created and stored in a multi-tenant system password table along with the second hashed password value and metadata from which the client domain hash algorithm can be determined.
