AppendixE Cisco Secure ACS Command-Line Database Utility
Compacting the CiscoSecure User Database
E-12
Cisco Secure ACS 3.0 for Windows 2000/NT Servers User Guide
78-13751-01, Version 3.0
Compacting the CiscoSecure user database consists of using in conjunction three
CSUtil.exe options:
• -d—Export all Cisco Secure ACS internal data to a text file named dump.txt.
•-n—Create a CiscoSecure user database and index.
•-l—Load all Cisco Secure ACS internal data from a text file. If you do not
specify the file name, CSUtil.exe uses the default file name dump.txt.
Additionally, if you want to automate this process, consider using the -q option to
suppress the confirmation prompts that otherwise appear before CSUtil.exe
performs the -n and -l options.
Note Compacting the CiscoSecure user database requires that you stop the CSAuth
service. While CSAuth is stopped, no users are authenticated.
To compact the CiscoSecure user database, follow these steps:
Step 1 On the Cisco Secure ACS server, 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 the “Location of CSUtil.exe and Related Files” section
on page E-2.
Step 2 If the CSAuth service is running, type:
net stop csauth
and press Enter.
Result: The CSAuth service stops.
Step 3 Ty pe:
CSUtil.exe -d -n -l
Press Enter.
Tip If you include the -q option in the command, CSUtil.exe does not prompt you
for confirmation of initializing or loading the database.
