2.3 Importing Provisioning Objects

The provisioning view’s import feature lets you import provisioning objects from:

This feature is useful when you begin a new project based on one or more definitions from an existing project, or when you want to share definitions with other developers working on the same project.

NOTE:When you change the Identity Vault or DriverSet’s deploy context, you must save the project before performing an import. If you do not save the change, Designer continues to use the old deploy context for import operations.

2.3.1 Importing from a Driver Configuration File

To import objects from a driver configuration file:

  1. Open the provisioning view.

  2. Select the root node representing the type of object you want to import.

  3. With the container selected, right-click and select Import from File. Confirm the import operation (which might overwrite existing definitions of the same name) by clicking OK.

  4. Specify the name of the driver configuration file you want to import, then click OK.

2.3.2 Importing from an Identity Vault

  1. Open the provisioning view and select the container into which you want to import the definitions.

    To import a specific provisioning object, select that node in the provisioning view. To import all objects of a specific type, select the root node representing that type.

  2. With the container selected, right-click and select:

    • Import Object.to import the specified object and any of its children.

    • Import All to import all of the objects of a selected container.

  3. Provide the Identity Vault credentials and click OK.

  4. Navigate to the Identity Vault container or object that you want to import and click OK.

  5. Review the Import Summary page to determine how you want to proceed. To complete the import, click Import, or click Cancel. If you choose Import, Designer performs the operation and displays a summary of the completed operation.
