Question MIgrate protected directory d..httpdocs file

[John S.]

I need to migrate the whole protected directory access file to another domain on the same server. So, I copied d..httpdocs from

/var/www/vhosts/system/old_domain.com/pd

to

/var/www/vhosts/system/new_domain.com/pd

The new protected directory works fine, but the users are not listed in

Protected directory / on domain new_domin.com

How can I get the users listed there?

Thanks!

I was drilling it down further.

1. If I delete all user entries in the d..httpdocs file, users are still shown in Plesk Protected Directory panel. It means that users are also saved somewheer else, wither in the database or in the 2nd file, not only in d..httpdocs.
2. I I checked all tables in psa database, nothing there, no tables for users of protected directories.
3. So, I searched the whole server on a sample username - there is only one entry in d..httpdocs file.

Any suggestions? The question remains - where does Plesk store users of protected directories, in addition to d..httpdocs?
