Copying SecretStore from One Tree to Another

Using SecretStore Manager, you can copy your SecretStore content from one tree to another.

Scenario: Digital Airlines purchases the AdVentureCo company. The former AdVentureCo employees are given accounts in the DA tree. These employees can authenticate to both trees and copy their secrets from their account in AdventureCo to their new account in the DA tree.

For security, require the user to re-authenticate to the source tree object and ensure that SecretStore is not locked before the copy of information is permitted. Otherwise, someone could steal secrets.

To copy SecretStore to another tree:

  1. At the SecretStore Manager main screen, enter the target tree name in the NDS Tree Name field.

  2. Enter your distinguished name (for example, sandy.salem.digital) in the Object Name field, then press Enter.
