Hello,
I want to inform you that as per the syntax of 'import.sh' script, it is mandatory to mention the USERNAME and PASSWORD in the server URI. Without this you will not able to run the import.sh script as it will try to login into your VDP server to import the VQL file.
On the other hand you can use 'encrypt_password.sh' script to pass the encrypted password in the server URI.
For example,
If you run the below command, you will get the encrypted password generated:
```
./encrypt_password.sh <your password>
```
You can use this encrypted password in the server URI as:
```
import.sh -su -f $VQL_FILE_HOME/$FN_NAME.vql -pf $CONFIG_FILE_NAME -h $SERVER:$PORTNUMBER/$VDBNAME?USERNAME@ENCRYPTED:<ENCRYTPED_PASSWORD>
```
You can refer to sections "Import Scripts" and "Importing the Metadata from a Single VQL File" of the VDP Administration Guide to know more about how to work with import and encrypt password scripts.
Hope this helps!!
