It supports the following arguments:

Argument Description

--input-file

A required argument that specifies the path to the file containing the exported encryption settings definitions.

--pin-file

An optional argument that specifies the path to a file containing the passphrase used to protect the contents of the encryption settings definitions. If this is not provided, then the tool interactively prompts for the passphrase.

--set-preferred

An optional argument that indicates that if the export file contains a definition that is marked as preferred, then it becomes the new preferred definition for the instance.

The following is an example of the command with one of the arguments included.

$ bin/encryption-settings import \
     --input-file exported-definitions.esd
Enter the PIN used to encrypt the definition:

When importing definitions into a non-empty encryption settings database, the existing definitions are preserved and the new definitions are added alongside them. If any of the definitions from the import file already exist in the database, they are skipped when processing the import.
