Import data into a security provider

Before you begin

Understand when you would want to migrate security data. See Overview of Security Data Migration.

Understand the concepts associated with importing and exporting security data. See Migration Concepts.

Understand which formats and constraints are supported by the WebLogic Security providers. See Formats and Constraints Supported by the WebLogic Security Providers.

Export security data from a security provider, as described in Export data from a security provider, and note the pathname for the exported data file.


As described in Export data from a security provider, you can export the security data from a security provider into a file, and then import the data into a different security provider. As an alternative, you can export the security data from all the security providers in a realm and then import that data into another security realm, as described in Export data from security realms and Import data into security realms. To import security data into a security provider:

  1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, select Security Realms.
  2. Select the name of the security realm into which the security data is to be imported (for example, myrealm).
  3. Select Providers and then the type of provider into which security data is to be imported (for example, Providers > Authentication).
  4. Select the security provider in which the security data is to be imported and select Migration > Import.
  5. Specify the directory and file name of the file that contains the exported security data in the Import File on Server field.
  6. Click Save.
