Cisco Systems OL-24201-01 manual Creating the Import File, Header Field Description

Chapter 5 Understanding My Workspace

Importing and Exporting ACS Objects through the Web Interface

For example, the internal user Add template contains the fields described in Table 5-10:

Table 5-10	Internal User Add Template
Header Field		Description
name:String(64):Required		Username of the user.
description:String(1024)		Description of the user.
enabled:Boolean		Boolean field that indicates whether the user must be enabled or disabled.
(True,False):Required
changePassword:Boolean		Boolean field that indicates whether the user must change password on first login.
(True,False):Required
password:String(32):Required		Password of the user.
enablePassword:String(32)		Enable password of the user.
UserIdentityGroup:String(256)		Identity group to which the user belongs.

All the user attributes that you have specified would appear here.

Each row of the .csv file corresponds to one internal user record. You must enter the values into the .csv file and save it before you can import the users into ACS. See Creating the Import File, page 5-22for more information on how to create the import file.

This example is based on the internal user Add template. For the other ACS object templates, the header row contains the properties described in Table 5-9for that object.

Creating the Import File

After you download the import file template to your local disk, enter the records that you want to import into ACS in the format specified in the template. After you enter all the records into the .csv file, you can proceed with the import function. The import process involves the following:

•Adding Records to the ACS Internal Store, page 5-22

•Updating the Records in the ACS Internal Store, page 5-23

•Deleting Records from the ACS Internal Store, page 5-24

Adding Records to the ACS Internal Store

When you add records to the ACS internal store, you add the records to the existing list. This is an append operation, in which the records in the .csv file are added to the list that exists in ACS.

To add internal user records to the Add template:

Step 1 Download the internal user Add template. See Downloading the Template from the Web Interface, page 5-21for more information.

Step 2 Open the internal user Add template in Microsoft Excel or any other spreadsheet application. See Table 5-9for a description of the fields in the header row of the template.

Step 3 Enter the internal user information. Each row of the .csv template corresponds to one user record.

Figure 5-12shows a sample Add Users import file.
