Compacting the CiscoSecure User Database

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
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 -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.
Result: If you do not use the -q option, CSUtil.exe displays a confirmation prompt
for initializing the database and then for loading the database. For more
information about the effects of the -n option, see
Creating a CiscoSecure User
Database, page D-7
. For more information about the effects of the -l option, see
Loading the Cisco Secure ACS Database from a Dump File, page D-9
.
Step 4
For each confirmation prompt that appears, type Y and press Enter.
Result: CSUtil.exe dumps all Cisco Secure ACS internal data to
dump.txt
,
initializes the CiscoSecure user database, and reloads all Cisco Secure ACS
internal data from
dump.txt
. This process may take a few minutes.
Step 5
To resume user authentication, type:
net start csauth
and press Enter.
