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.
•
If you export an OmniPass-only user, you can import that user to any computer running OmniPass, provided
that a user with that name is not already enrolled in OmniPass.
•
If you attempt to import a user profile who has the same name as a user already enrolled in OmniPass, the
OmniPass import function will fail.
