Cause
The security mechanisms in RSA Identity Management and Governance have changed beginning in 6.9.1 to eliminate passwords stored in clear text and to improve encryption key handling to be more secure and robust. Due to these changes the import of exported metadata from a different server will fail.
Workaround
The solution for using the import option is to manually remove the encrypted password from the exported XML metadata file before importing and then setting the password through the user interface, once the object is imported in the new environment.
 
Notes
Improvements are anticipated in future releases to give a warning to reenter the password and not fail with an error on the import.
