Excerpt

Passwords

Passwords Saved in PhixFlow

Exported files do not include any passwords from the PhixFlow system, such as passwords for:

  • user accounts
  • accessing external data, for example using file or HTTP collectors and exporters or FTP sites.
Note

If you are planning to import an exported configuration to another PhixFlow instance, you may need to update the passwords in that instance.

Providing a Password to Encrypt the Exported File

By default, when you download an exported file, it is encrypted. You must provide a password that you can then use when you import the file into another instance. 

Persisting Passwords

Some objects, such as the Datasource and HTTP Datasource, have the option to Protect on Import which will retain  its settings even if imported from another instance.

Copying

In addition to being able to export items ready for import to another instance, you can also copy items into the same instance using the copy option. See Copying Models and Modelling Objects.
