You can import secret references that are exported from another D365 FO environment.

If you import a project, the secret references are not included. If the related secret references are required, you can import the secret references separately.

Usually, you only export and import secret references to a D365 FO environment of the same type. For example, you only export secret references from a Development environment to import these in another Development environment. Reason: You don't want to mix up data. For example, you don't want to mix up Test data with Production data.


Standard procedure

1. Go to Connectivity studio > Setup > Secret > Secret reference.
2. On the Action Pane, click General.
3. Click Import.
4. Click Select configuration file to browse for and select the desired secret references export file.
5. Select Yes in the Run in background field.
6. Enter the key to decrypt the secrets of the secret references in the file. This key must be the same as the one that is used to encrypt the secrets.
  In the Encryption key field, type a value.
7. Enter the secret that is used to check if the right encryption key is used during import. This secret must be the same as the one used to encrypt the secrets.
On import, if the entered encryption key and secret do not match both the encryption key and secret in the file, the secret references are not imported.
  In the Encryption secret field, type a value.
8. Click OK.
9. Close the page.

Notes

  • If the selected secret references file contains a secret reference that already exists, it is not imported.
  • You can encrypt the secrets of the secret references. To do so, set the Encryption key in the Connectivity studio parameters.
