text files that are named
dump.txt
, the -l option allows for loading renamed dump
files. For more information about creating dump text files, see
Creating a
Cisco Secure ACS Database Dump File, page D-8
.
You can use the -p option in conjunction with the -l option to reset password-aging
counters.
Note
Using the -l option requires that you stop the CSAuth service. While CSAuth is
stopped, no users are authenticated.
To load all Cisco Secure ACS internal data from a text file, 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
Location of CSUtil.exe and Related Files, page D-2
.
Step 2
If the CSAuth service is running, type:
net stop csauth
and press Enter.
Result: The CSAuth service stops.
Step 3
Type:
CSUtil.exe -l
filename
where filename is the name of the dump file you want CSUtil.exe to use to load
Cisco Secure ACS internal data. Press Enter.
Result: CSUtil.exe displays a confirmation prompt for overwriting all
Cisco Secure ACS internal data with the data in the dump text file.
Note
Overwriting the database does not preserve any data; instead, after the
overwrite, the database contains only what is specified in the dump text
file.
