Importing and Configuring Identities on the Destination Environment

Use this procedure to load the identities into the destination environment, assign actors to them, and set passwords for them.

To import and configure identities on the destination environment

  1. In a command line session, navigate in the destination system to the directory where the data from the source environment is stored.

    cd srcDataDir

  2. Remove all passwords from the identities .xml file (such as AllIdentities.xml). The import of the identities file will fail if the existing passwords are not removed. When exported, each identity entry in the file contains a password of "***************". To delete these, open the .xml file in a text editor and change lines that say:

    <PASSWORD><![CDATA[***************]]></PASSWORD>

    to say:

    <PASSWORD><![CDATA[]]></PASSWORD>

  3. Save your changes to the .xml file when you are done removing the passwords.
  4. Load the identities. At the command line, type

    loadsecdata srcIdentities.xml

    For example: loadsecdata AllIdentities.xml

  5. Assign actors to the identities. Based on the actor report that you created in Preparing for Application Data Copying for the source system, link an actor to each identity. For each identity, at the command line, type

    secadm –p secadmPasswd actor assign actor service identity

    where secadmPasswd is the password for the secadm utility, actor is the actor to assign to the identity, service is the service that the actor/identity is for, and identity is the identity you are linking the actor to.

  6. Assign passwords to each identity. For each identity, at the command line, type

    secadm –p secadmPasswd identity update service identity --password newPassword

    where secadmPasswd is the password for the secadm utility, service is the service that the actor/identity is for, and identity is the identity you are assigning a password to, and newPassword is the password.
