Importing Authenticator Records

Authenticator records can be managed individually or in bulk. You can import authenticator records in bulk from one of the following:

• DIGIPASS export file (DPX). A DIGIPASS export file (DPX) is a special text file (.dpx) that contains all authenticator application data for an authenticator batch. They are used, for instance, when you purchase authenticators or authenticator licenses. The authenticator application data is encrypted with a transport key.

  You need the following:

  • Valid DIGIPASS export file (.dpx)
  • Corresponding transport key for the DIGIPASS export file

• DIGIPASS import file. A DIGIPASS import file is a comma-separated text file (.csv) that contains authenticator records. They are used, for instance, to import authenticator data from an existing OneSpan Authentication Server Framework environment to OneSpan Authentication Server.

  You need the following:

  • Valid DIGIPASS import file (.csv)
  • Custom storage derive key if the authenticator BLOB data is protected with custom encryption

  The DIGIPASS import file can also be used by Data Migration Tool (DMT). For more information about this type of import files and preparing them, refer to the Data Migration Tool Administrator Guide.

You can perform a bulk authenticator import via the DIGIPASS Import wizard.

You can find DIGIPASS import file examples on the OneSpan Authentication Server product CD in the \Demo Files folder.

If you import authenticator records via the DIGIPASS Import wizard, a respective server task is scheduled to perform the actual import operation. The number of concurrent import tasks for Digipass import files and DPX files is limited for each to one task per OneSpan Authentication Server instance. Subsequent import tasks will be queued and processed one after another.
