Inserting Clear-Text Passwords

For security reasons, the export11cnf utility does not export clear-text passwords from version 1.1. Instead, the utility inserts empty strings in cleartextPassword fields wherever applicable. For example,


<Credentials
        userName="cn=iswservice,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com"
        cleartextPassword=""/>
        <!-- INSERT PASSWORD BETWEEN THE DOUBLE QUOTES IN THE ABOVE FIELD -->

You must enter a password manually, between double quotes, for every cleartextPassword field in the exported configuration file, before you can import the file into Identity Synchronization for Windows. importcnf validation prevents you from importing a configuration file with empty password values.

For example,

<Credentials
        userName="cn=iswservice,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com"
        cleartextPassword="mySecretPassword"/>
        <!-- INSERT PASSWORD BETWEEN THE DOUBLE QUOTES IN THE ABOVE FIELD -->
