Wizard tasks to load and save customer-defined roles and profiles

There are two wizard tasks that deal with customer-defined roles and profiles;

Save user roles and profiles
Load user roles and profiles

These two tasks work together to simplify the process of backing up, migrating, and loading customer-defined roles and profiles onto a TKE workstation local crypto adapter.

The save user roles and profiles wizard task performs the following tasks:

It determines whether there are any customer-defined roles or profiles on the TKE workstation’s local crypto adapter.
If it finds customer-defined roles or profiles, it creates files that contain information that allows the load user roles and profiles wizard task to load the roles and profiles.

Notes:

Role and profile information is kept in different files.
The files are saved in the TKE Data Directory.
The files can be left on the TKE workstation for recovery purposes, or moved to another TKE workstation for migration purposes.
The save and load user roles and profiles tasks can also be run from the Access Control menu in the Cryptographic Node Management utility (CNM).

The load user roles and profiles wizard task performs the following tasks:

It determines whether either of the files that are created by the save user roles and profiles wizard task is on the system.
Depending on which files are found, all the roles, or profiles, or both, are loaded onto the TKE workstation’s local adapter.

Note: When a passphrase profile is loaded, you must assign a new password to the profile. This password does not have to match the password that the profile had at the time the profile was saved.

Restriction: The load user roles and profiles wizard task requires data from the save user roles and profiles wizard task. Therefore, you can use the load task only when the roles and profiles come from a system with a minimum release level of TKE 7.3.

For information about how to save and load customer-defined roles and profiles on a workstation that does not have the TKE Workstation Setup wizard, see Option 2: Using the Cryptographic Node Management (CNM) utility to collect data about roles and profiles and Option 2: Using the multiple-step method to complete workstation setup.
