Import from KeePass

Import KeePass v2 Entries into the Identity Vault.

KeePass Password Safe is very popular free client side password management tool which is efficient in managing personal accounts and passwords in a secure way; however, it does not scale well for multi-user or corporate use.

If you are planning the transition from KeePass to Access Manager, then our built-in utility provides an easy method to preserve entries, group hierarchy and smart detection of entry types.

For Import of the objects from CSV, KeePass, PuTTY or Remote Desktop Connection Manager files to your Records you can use Dry Run.

 

To Import a KeePass v2 Export into Access Manager:

1. Create your KeePass version 2 export using its native Export option. When exporting, you may either export the entire Database or a selected Group, use the format KeePass XML (2.x).



2. After the export has been generated, login to Access Manager with either a System Administrator account or Owner to the folder that will be used for Import.

3. Navigate into the System folder (or vault) that will be the import location and select the Manage > Import option from this folder’s toolbar.

4. Click Select File to then choose your KeePass .xml export file for import.

5. Finally, click the Import button to begin the process.

After the import is complete, review the results to ensure all objects were imported successfully.
