Loading the Cisco Secure ACS Database from a
Dump File
You can use the -l option to overwrite all Cisco Secure ACS internal data from a 
dump text file. This option replaces the existing all Cisco Secure ACS internal 
data with the data in the dump text file. In effect, the -l option initializes all 
Cisco Secure ACS internal data before loading it from the dump text file. Dump 
text files are created using the -d option. While the -d option only produces dump 
text files that are named dump.txt, the -l option allows for loading renamed dump 
files. For more information about creating dump text files, see Creating a 
Cisco Secure ACS Database Dump File, page D-10.
You can use the -p option in conjunction with the -l option to reset password-aging 
counters.
Note Using the -l option requires that you stop the CSAuth service. While CSAuth is 
stopped, no users are authenticated.
To load all Cisco Secure ACS internal data from a text file, follow these steps:
Step 1 On the computer running Cisco Secure ACS, open an MS DOS command prompt 
and change directories to the directory containing CSUtil.exe. For more 
information about the location of CSUtil.exe, see Location of CSUtil.exe and 
Related Files, page D-2.
Step 2 If the CSAuth service is running, type:
net stop csauth
and press Enter.
The CSAuth service stops.
