Importing and Exporting ACS Objects through the Web Interface

Downloading the Template from the Web Interface

Before you can create the import file, you must download the import file templates from the ACS web interface.

To download the import file templates for adding internal users:

Step 1 Log into the ACS 5.3 web interface.

Step 2 Choose Users and Identity Stores > Internal Identity Stores > Users.

The Users page appears.

Step 3 Click File Operations.

The File Operations wizard appears.

Step 4 Choose any one of the following:

Add—Adds users to the existing list. This option does not modify the existing list. Instead, it performs an append operation.

Update—Updates the existing internal user list.

Delete—Deletes the list of users in the import file from the internal identity store.

Step 5 Click Next.

The Template page appears.

Step 6 Click Download Add Template.

Step 7 Click Save to save the template to your local disk.

The following list gives you the location from which you can get the appropriate template for each of the objects:

User—Users and Identity Stores > Internal Identity Stores > Users

Understanding the CSV Templates

You can open your CSV template in Microsoft Excel or any other spreadsheet application and save the template to your local disk as a .csv file. The .csv template contains a header row that lists the properties of the corresponding ACS object.
