arsstash error after upgrade to 10.5.0.8

[sunit]

I installed CMOD 10.5.0.0 on a new Windows server and configured it. I was able to successfully use arsstash.exe to stash the ID and password in a stash file.

I then upgraded the server to 10.5.0.8 and now the arsstash command errors out including when trying to change the configuration using the OnDemand Configurator.

The error displayed is:
ARS1602E The stash file >ARCHIVE.stash< is invalid.

Basic troubleshooting steps:

 - Make sure the command you're running specifies the full path to the stash file. (/home/archive/ARCHIVE.stash rather than ARCHIVE.stash)
 - Double-check your user id and permissions - does the OS allow you to access the file?

Easiest way forward would be to back up the original stash file and create a new one in its place -- if you don't know the current password, you can change it through the admin client to a new password and use that password to create the new stash file.

Of course, if you create a new one, make sure the OS ownership and permissions are restrictive enough to be secure.

Good luck, and please report back with a resolution.

Thanks.
