User Identity XML File Format

This topic describes the format of the XML file generated when you export user identities (see Exporting/Importing User Identities). You can also manually create a user identity XML file using the syntax illustrated in the following example and XML element definitions.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<UserIdentities> 
  <UserIdentity> 
    <Name>UserIdentity1</Name> 
    <User>testUser</User>
    <PasswordEncrypted>True</PasswordEncrypted>
    <Password>Ewc91LtKh5guM4yRphFZHw==</Password>
    <SupportBasicAuthentication>False</SupportBasicAuthentication>
  </UserIdentity>
  <UserIdentity>
    <Name>UserIdentity2</Name>
    <User>User</User>
    <PasswordEncrypted>False</PasswordEncrypted>
    <Password>SuperSecretPassword</Password>
    <SupportBasicAuthentication>False</SupportBasicAuthentication>
  </UserIdentity> 
</UserIdentities>
