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.
OmniPass Control Center
This section serves to explain functions within OmniPass Control Center that weren’t explained earlier.
You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of three ways:
•
Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in the Windows taskbar (typically in the lower-right corner
of the desktop)
•
Search for OmniPass using Windows 8 Search accessible from Charms panel (Windows C)
•
Open the Windows
Control Panel
(accessible via Modern Start screen->[
Windows
]+[
X
] ->
Control Panel
) and
double-click the
OmniPass
icon.
User Management
The User Management tab has two major interfaces:
Add/Remove User
and
Import/Export User
. Import/Export User
functionality is documented in “Exporting and Importing Users” on page 113. Add/Remove User functionality is
straightforward.
