How to import user for SSO (i.e ssoimp.cmd)

Question

Hi,
i installed portal 3.0.7 and tried to transport the application from development to production server.Both uses same DB,same Portal version & same apache server version.This is the order mentioned for importing: I too did the same way.
Import sso dump (ssoimp.cmd)
Import sec dump (secimp.cmd)
Import Database dump (imp)
Import App dump (appimp.cmd)
Import cont area dump (contimp.cmd)
But during the very first time and very first step ,when i started the SSO dump import ,it says the following .
"Note:Import user have to login to login server by entering his/her password and must rename his/her password".
Of course the sso import also failed.
For,your info,i didn't create any user for import.System automatically created 'Portal30_SSO' user ,with it's default password during installation itself.
I also tried chaning the password for portal30_sso.But all in vein.
So can anybody guide me in this import issue ? Or else is there any other work around for bringing the application developed in development server to prod server( is there any way like taking a datafile backup and replacing it in PROD server to reflect the same changes ?) or what procedure do you follow to transport the developed application into Production server in your Organization.
Thanks in advance.
cheers!!!

Wenjun,
As a general rule, you can use DX EXPORT request to get the structure of XML script for DX IMPORT:
<DX_REQUEST>
<EXPORT>
<USER_GROUP_OBJECT>
<SITE>SK</SITE>
<USER_GROUP>ADMINISTRATORS</USER_GROUP>
</USER_GROUP_OBJECT>
</EXPORT>
</DX_REQUEST>
In turn this gives me:
<USER_GROUP_OBJECT>
  <USER_GROUP>ADMINISTRATORS</USER_GROUP>
  <MODIFIED_DATE_TIME_ISO>2010-01-25T16:03:33Z</MODIFIED_DATE_TIME_ISO>
  <DESCRIPTION>Administrators</DESCRIPTION>
  <SITE>SK</SITE>
<USER_GROUP_MEMBER>
<USER_OR_GROUP_GBO>
<USR>
  <USER_ID>SITE_ADMIN</USER_ID>
  <SITE>SK</SITE>
  </USR>
  </USER_OR_GROUP_GBO>
  </USER_GROUP_MEMBER>
  <CREATED_DATE_TIME_ISO>2010-01-25T16:03:33Z</CREATED_DATE_TIME_ISO>
  </USER_GROUP_OBJECT>
This structure with needed changes should be inserted into <DX_REQUEST><IMPORT>...</IMPORT></DX_REQUEST> script.
Please note, that each time you send such script, the user group will be overwritten rather than updated with new users.
