Description
When exporting Information Services Data Sources through library export the passwords are cleared. This means that they have to be re-entered after import before they can be used. But starting with Spotfire version 7.14, there is an option to keep the passwords when exporting/importing.
Environment
Spotfire Server 7.14 or later
Resolution
From Spotfire version 7.14, there is a setting that lets you control if passwords are cleared on export:
Setting it to false, passwords will be encrypted by the encryption password. So this export can only be imported to an environment with the same encryption password.
config export-config
config set-config-prop --name="information-services.clear-data-source-passwords-on-export" --value="false"
config import-config -c "Disabled clear data source passwords on library export"
