Creating a Cisco Secure ACS Database Dump File
You can use the -d option to dump all contents of the CiscoSecure user database
into a text file. In addition to providing a thorough, eye-readable, and
compressible backup of all Cisco Secure ACS internal data, a database dump can
also be useful for the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) during
troubleshooting.
Using the -l option, you can reload the Cisco Secure ACS internal data from a
dump file created by the -d option. For more information about the -l option, see
Loading the Cisco Secure ACS Database from a Dump File, page D-9
.
Note
Using the -d option requires that you stop the CSAuth service. While CSAuth is
stopped, no users are authenticated.
