Import/Export Configuration

This allows you to import or export your plugin configuration settings in case you have to change or activate/deactivate your plugin on another instance. This also gives you the ability to download and maintain the configuration file for your ideal configurations.

This would be useful in cases when:

  • Upgrading from free version to paid version of the plugin .
  • Migrating between different environments of your site.
  • Upgrading to the latest version of the free/paid plugin.

This option can be found under the Service Provider Setup tab as shown below:

Import/Export Configurtion

1. Keep Settings Intact

  • Enabling the Keep Settings Intact toggle would keep your configurations intact even when the plugin is uninstalled or deleted.

2. Export Configurations

  • Use this feature to export plugin configurations as a JSON file.
    For ex: If you delete the plugin for some reason and later want to reinstall it with previous configurations, you can import the exported file to save time.
  • The file contains the following things :
    • Complete configuration of your plugin
    • Request generated from SP side
    • Response received from Identity Provider
    • Version and dependencies status

Note: Options 2 and 3 will only be present if the user has already done the test configuration.

3. Import Configurations

  • Using this feature, you can import the exported configurations (i.e. JSON file) in the plugin.
    For ex: For some reason you deleted the plugin and now want to install again, you can import the exported configurations so that the previous configurations will not be lost.
