Exporting an OmniPass User Profile
To export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center, and click
Import/Export User
under
Manage Users
.
Click
Exports an OmniPass user profile
. OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate.
Upon successfully authentication, you must name the OmniPass user profile and
decide where to save it. An .opi file is generated, and you should store a copy of it in
a safe place.
This .opi file contains all your user specific OmniPass data, and it is both encrypted
and password protected. This user profile does NOT contain any of your encrypted
data files.
Importing an OmniPass User Profile
To import an OmniPass user open the OmniPass Control Center, and click
Import/Export User under Manage Users. Click Imports a new user into OmniPass
and then select OmniPass Import/Export File (*.opi) and click Next. OmniPass will
then prompt you to browse for the file you had previously exported (.opi file).
When you select the .opi file for importation, OmniPass will prompt you for
authentication. The credentials that will allow a user profile to be imported are the
Windows login credentials of the exported user. They are the credentials that had
to be submitted when the user profile was exported. You will need User Name,
Password, and Domain. If you don’t remember the value for Domain, in a PC or
SOHO environment Domain should be your computer name.
OmniPass will notify you if the user was successfully imported.
Things to Know Regarding Import/Export
•
Assume you export a local Windows User profile from OmniPass. You want to
import that profile to another machine that has OmniPass. Before you can
import the profile, a Windows user with the same login credentials must be
created on the machine importing the profile.
Example:
I have a Windows user with the username “Tom” and the password
“Sunshine” on my system. I have enrolled Tom into OmniPass and
remembered passwords. I want to take all my passwords to new system. I
export Tom’s OmniPass user profile. I go to my new system and using the
Control Panel I create a user with the username "Tom" and the password
"Sunshine". I can now successfully import the OmniPass user data to the new
system.
