Export and Import Named Credentials

You can export the credentials for the selected applications, and import it on the node where the application is to be imported.

Export Credentials

You can export credentials by one of the following ways:

• Export credentials only

• Export credentials when exporting applications.

When exporting credentials, you must configure a Security Key. The Security key encrypts the credentials and is required for authentication when importing the credentials.

To export credentials using Credential Manager

1. In the Credential Managers screen, click Export.

2. The Export credentials window appears.

3. Select the credentials from the grid to be exported.

4. In the next section, set up a Security Key .

   Note: The Security Key must be at least 12 characters long, and must include at least one upper case, lower case, and numerical character and one special character.

5. Click Export.

   The Export credential details file browser appears.

6. Select a folder to save the credentials and click Save.

   The credentials are exported to .bin file format.

To export credentials when exporting applications

7. In the Application Manager, right-click the application to be exported, and click Export as template.

8. Select the Export Credentials check box.

   The application along with the credentials list are exported.

Import Credentials

You can import credentials to use on a particular node where the application has been imported.

To import credentials

9. In the Credential Managers screen, click Import.

10. Use the file browser to select the .bin file and click Open.

11. Enter the Security Key.

    Tip: You must use the same security key configured when exporting the application.

    The credentials are imported to the Credential Manager.

To import credentials for NAD

At the time of this release, named credentials on the NAD Repository will not be propagated to NAD clients automatically. That is, selecting an application to run with NAD (using the Find application action) does not import the named credentials.

To import the named credentials on the NAD Repository, import the named credentials through application manager on every NAD client.

Import Credentials Scenarios

Scenario 1: The imported credentials and credentials existing on the machine are different.

The credentials are imported to the Credential Manager and new entries are added to the Credential Manager grid.

Scenario 2: The imported credentials and existing credentials are same.

The credentials are imported to the Credential Manager and new entries are added to the Credential Manager grid. The newly imported credentials are renamed with.

Scenario 3: The names of the imported credentials and existing credential are same, but the details are different.

The credentials are imported to the Credential Manager and new entries are added to the Credential Manager grid. The newly imported credentials are renamed with an increment of the exisiting ones.
