Ingest Password-Protected Files

To process password-protected files you must provide CFS with the passwords.

To specify the passwords for password-protected files

  1. Create a credentials file to contain the passwords for your password-protected files:

    1. Open a text editor and create a new text file.
    2. Create an [ImportService] section in the file.

    3. In the ImportService section, set the following parameter:

      ImportCredentialCount The total number of file name and password combinations specified in the credentials file.

      For example:

      [ImportService]
      ImportCredentialCount=1
    4. Create a new section in the file, named [CredentialN], where N is the number of the file name/password combination, starting from 0.

      In the new section, set the following parameters:

      FileSpec The name of the password protected file(s). You can use the * wildcard to match the file name(s).
      Password The password for the file(s). You can encrypt the password using the password encryption utility. For information about how to do this, see Encrypt Passwords.
      UserName The user name to use to open the file(s). Set this parameter if a user name is required to access the file.
      NotesIDFile The path of the ID file. Set this parameter for .nsf files only.

      For example, the following settings could be used to specify a single password for all ZIP files:

      [ImportService]
      ImportCredentialCount=1
      
      [Credential0]
      FileSpec=*.zip
      Password=9t3M3t7awt/J8A
    5. To specify further file name and password combinations, repeat steps c and d.
    6. Save the file to a suitable location.
  2. Specify the location of the credentials file. There are several ways to do this:
