■ You should periodically export your user
profile and store it in a safe place. If
anything happens to your system, you
can import your OmniPass profile to a
new system and have all your remem-
bered settings and fingerprints instantly.
You don't forget the Windows login
■
credentials when exporting. When you
examine the importation, you are
prompted 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 Domai
Exporting an OmniPass User Profile
To export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center,
and click Import/Export User under Manage Users.
Click Exports an OmniPass user profile. OmniPass will
prompt you to authenticate. Upon successfully authenti-
cation, you must name the OmniPass user profile and
decide where to save it. An .opi file is generated, and you
should store a copy of it in a safe place.
This .opi file contains all your user specific OmniPass
data, and it is both encrypted and password protected.
This user profile does NOT contain any of your
encrypted data files.
Importing an OmniPass User Profile
You cannot import a user into OmniPass if
there already is a user with the same name
enrolled in OmniPass.
To import an OmniPass user open the OmniPass
Control Center, and click Import/Export User under
Manage Users. Click Imports a new user into OmniPass
and then select OmniPass Import/Export File (*.opi)
and click Next. 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 cre-
dentials 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 sys-
tem. 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 "Sun-
shine". I can now successfully import the OmniPass
user data to the new system.
n.
If you export an OmniPass-only user, you can import
■
that user to any computer running OmniPass, pro-
vided 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.
