10.2.3.5 Importing Directory Server Settings

In enterprise environments, administrators often set up user machines or export the configuration details
to an FDF file which is emailed or made available on a network. In the latter case, you can import the server
settings through the Security Settings Console or simply by double clicking on the FDF file containing the
data.
To add server settings from a file:
1. Locate the FDF file: find the file in an email or on the local file system and double click on it.
The FDF can also be imported through the Security Settings Console by choosing Advanced (Acrobat)
or Document (Adobe Reader) > Security Settings, selecting Directory Servers in the left-hand list,
and choosing Import.
2. Review the sender's details. Verify the signature properties if needed
3. Choose Import Search Directory Settings.
4. If a confirmation dialog appears, choose OK.
This dialog will not appear if Do not show this message again was previously selected.
5. Choose Close.
The settings are automatically imported and should now appear in the Directory Servers list in the
Security Settings Console.
Note: If the FDF is unsigned, the Signature panel will display Not signed and the Signature
Properties button will be disabled.
