To import one or more partners from a PDX file, proceed as follows:
1 Open the partner management and click the Add a new partner button.
2 Select the Import OFTP partner from PDX file option.
3 Open the XML file you received from your partner.
4 If the file could be loaded successfully, now all stations and substations contained in it will be displayed. Select all those for which you want to create a partner in !MC5. All selected ones must have the same connection type! To create several partners with different connection types, the procedure described here must be performed several times. Click Next to continue.
Warnings when importing from PDX
When manually importing partner accounts from a PDX file, the following things are checked: The PDX must contain all the information required for the import. The OFTP2 preferences requested in the PDX are matched with your own preferences. And the certificates contained in the PDX are checked. If problems are found during these checks, then the corresponding station is marked with an exclamation mark and the warnings found are displayed as subnodes of the station. Regardless of this, the displayed stations can always be imported. Partner preferences always take precedence over the user's own preferences. Unknown issuer certificates are automatically imported. However, it is not guaranteed that partners created from stations with warnings will work directly without subsequent adjustments to the partner or own settings.
5 The certificates contained in the PDX are now displayed including their certificate chain. All !MC5 unknown certificates are marked with an exclamation mark. Before you continue with Next, check all marked certificates carefully. By importing the partner, all these certificates are also automatically imported into !MC5!
6 If desired, customize the name for the new partner account and click Next.
7 Enter your own password for the newly created connection and then click Next. If you have already sent a PDX to this partner yourself, use the password used in it. The default value is the default password specified in the PDX settings.
8 Finally, you can customize the inbound and outbound directories for the new partner account. Click Finish to complete the import.
9 The newly created partner can be used from now on. When importing multiple partners from a PDX file, they are automatically combined into one SSID group. Other information contained in the PDX file, such as the name and address of the company and contact data, is imported as notes.
