Can SSO config only import selective SettingsFileGenerator.xml settings?

Question

The SettingsFileGenerator.xml file seems to have two purposes. One is to set the SSO Config and the other is to dynamically replace settings in the PortBindingsMaster.xml for each environment. I am replacing dozens of values in the PortBindingMaster.xml file that don't need to also be stored in the SSO config. Is there a standard way to specify which settings I want to be stored in the SSO config so I don't store a lot of extra values there?

Unfortunately, what you're asking is not directly supported. There a couple of workarounds though.

You can maintain a separate settings file for runtime only settings and use a custom CustomPostDeployTarget task to Exec SSOSettingsFileImport.exe with you runtime settings file.

Or, you can use a set of UpdateSSOConfigItem elements as referenced here: Deploy Configuration Settings into SSO.
