How to script CREDENTIALS for SQL Server migration

Question: I’m having some problems in migrating CREDENTIAL objects for SQL Server migrations.

The CREDENTIALS are used as part of the authentication method for PROXY accounts. When attempting to migrate via the scripted method , I think the password is corrupting?

What is a simple and effective method to script the CREATE statements and then include as part of the deployment package ?

Answer: It can be awkward to migrate the CREDENTIAL objects depending on the method you use. One simple method is to execute this code on the source SQL Server , it will create the CREATE statement. The only problem being is you need to add the password. Of course , you can add extra automation around this step depending on how you manage passwords

select
	'CREATE CREDENTIAL ' + name + ' WITH IDENTITY = ''' + credential_identity + ''', SECRET = ''MY-PASSWORD'';'
from
	sys.credentials 
order by name;
