Importing authenticators

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.

The Import DIGIPASS wizard guides you through the steps to import authenticators. In case of DPX, you can specify the applications that will be available with the imported authenticators, and whether the imported authenticators will be set as Active or Inactive. You can also specify if existing authenticator records will be updated with the data from the import file.
