Copying Secrets

CASA enables you to copy existing user secrets from your miCASA store to other stores that are enabled in your system. Use the following procedure to copy secrets between credential stores that are enabled on the system:

  1. In the CASA Manager page, click the tab of any one of the stores that are enabled on your system. In this example, we’ve selected the miCASA tab.
  2. Right-click the secret you want to copy in the Secret ID panel. In this example, we’ve selected the user’s Desktop credentials as shown in the figure below:

  3. In the CASA - Copy Secret window, check one or more of the available stores where you want to copy your secrets.

    In this step, we’ve selected to copy secrets to the KDE* Wallet store.

  4. Click OK and the KDE Wallet Wizard opens if the Wallet has not been configured previously.

    KWallet enables you to store user secrets on a disk in an encrypted file. The wizard helps you to configure KWallet and we suggest you select the Basic setup option until you become familiar with the KDE Wallet system.

  5. Click the Next button to open the Password Selection window of the KDE Wallet Wizard.

    If you want your applications to use KDE Wallet to store user secrets, you enable it by checking Yes in the Password Selector wizard and entering a new password and password verification in the fields.
    NOTE: To enhance security of your system, we recommend using a different password than your master password. The password you choose cannot be recovered if it is lost and will allow anyone who knows it to obtain all of the information contained in KDE Wallet.

  6. Click Finish and the KDE Daemon will open and prompt you for the password you created in Step 5.
  7. Enter the password and click OK. An information window should indicate that the secrets were copied successfully.
  8. Click Close.

For copying secrets to credential stores other than KDE Wallet, use the following procedure:

  1. Click the credential store into which you want to copy the secrets selected in Step 2 above.

  2. Change the name of the secret if needed.
  3. Click OK. The Information advisory window returns a Success message.
  4. Click Close.
