Importing an OmniPass User Profile
To import an OmniPass user open the OmniPass Control Center, and click
Run User Management Wizard
. Click
Restore a user's OmniPass profile
. 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.
