D-Link DWC-1000 User Manual

Section 6 - Securing Your Network
The user may only add system users using the CSV file upload mechanism. Before adding users to different
groups, the groups must be created using GUI. Also, edit and delete operations on users can be more con-
veniently handled through the GUI as it is much easier to select a particular user for edit/delete. This mecha-
nism of .csv file upload is more convenient than GUI only for adding a large number of users, where users
could be added at one go rather than one at a time through the GUI.
The following parameters must be used to define the User database CSV file.
1. Create an empty text file with a *.csv extension.
2. Each line in the file corresponds to a single user entry.
3. Formatting rules:
a) All the fields must be enclosed within double quotes.
b) Consecutive fields are separated by commas.
c) There should be no leading or trailing spaces in a line.
d) There should be no spaces between fields.
Each line in the CSV user database file should follow the following format:
“
UserName
”,”
FirstName
”,”
LastName
”,”
GroupName
”,”
MultiLogin
”,”
Enable password change
”, “
Password
”
The above sample has fields that can assume the following values:
•
Username
(text field): Name of the user and identifier in the DWC’s database, and so it must be
unique in the local user database.
•
FirstName
(text field): This is a user detail and need not be unique.
•
LastName
(text field): This is a user detail and need not be unique.
•
GroupName
(text field): The group that is associated with this user.
•
Password
(text field): The password to assign for this username.
•
MultiLogin
(Boolean value): With this enabled (“1”), then multiple users can share a single user-
name and password.
Example:
1. The following Groups have already been created in the GUI:
a. “l2tp” with L2TP VPN capability.
b. “pptp” with PPTP VPN capability.
c. “cp” with Captive Portal capability.
2. Here are the compatible CSV files:
a. “test”,”te”,”st”,”pptp”,”0”,”0”,”test”
b. “test1”,”tes”,”st1”,”l2tp”,”0”,”0”,”test1”
c. “test2”,”ee”,”ff”,”ADMIN”,”0”,”0”,”test2”
d. “test3”,”dd”,”gg”,”GUEST”,”1”,”0”,”test3”
e. “test4”,”qq”,”ss”,”cp”,”1”,”1”,”test4”
Note:
• The Group for a corresponding user (“GroupName” in the CSV) must be created via the GUI, in advance of the
User Database CSV upload action.
• None of the above fields can be left empty or NULL in the User Database CSV.
