Importing user and group database from 2.6 to 4.0

Hi,
I need to import the user and groups from version 2.6 ACS to version 4.0. The 2.6 online documentation talks of using the CSUtils to create a .txt back up of the users and group. But I cannot see how to import that into 4.0. Has anyone done this. Any info would be appreciated,
cheers,

Hi Darran,
I looked at what I had imported using the instructions you had supplied me and it looked fine, all users and group, tacacs privelege levels had been imported. I modified a router on our network to point at the ACS 4.0. on testing it looks like the passwords hadn't been copied across successfully. Logins are failing with 'invalid CS password' in the failed authentication log. If I changed the password manually it was fine.
Have you seen that before?
Thanks for your help on this.
Rgds,
Russell.

Import user and group from dump.txt to ACS Solution Engine 3.3

I have export the user and group using the CSUtil -d on my acs v2.6. But ACS Solution Engine 3.3 does not have the CSUtil command to import the user and group database. Can anyone advise me?

I'm trying to do the same thing with no luck so far.
Documentation seems to indicate you can do this using RDBMS Synchronization but we haven't got it to work yet.
I read the doco as saying you create a csv and place it on an FTP server and ACS will read from that file. When we've tried, it rights its own file with a different extension and says it can't find the one we place in that same directory.

How to import user and group at EPM11.1.2?

I found a similar topic on this at User & Groups Issue
But sounds like there is big change a tEPM11.1.2, I didn't find CSSImportExport utility at all.
Could anyone tell me how to import users and groups from flat file at this version?
Thanks
Tony

You can only use LCM from 11.1.2, it is not really that different format from the CSSImportExport utility.
I find the best way is to set up a few users and provisioning and then use LCM to export, then you get a good feel to the format of the file.

How to get the user and groups information from http header

Hi All,
In my current scneario, we are using Siteminder for SSO setup.. And in this process, after authentication and authorization, they are going to append the user information and group information of the user into a HTTP header and it will be sent back to our presentation services.. We have to extract the user information and group information from the http header.
My HTTP header will look like as follows..
SM_USER XYZ
SM_USERDN CN=Firstname\, Lastname\, xyz, OU=GPO-Low Level Security,OU=Domain Users,OU=BU FDT,
SM_USERGROUPS CN=GG-CA-SiteminderAdmins, OU=Global,OU=Domain Groups, DC=com^CN=GG-ServiceDeskAdmin-TCCORPCEFS
And also if anyone explain me the overall working of SSO in detail like how presentation services will make a connection to BI server( I guess using Impersonator User), and also how our BI server will read the URL from presentation services and the over all working flow in our OBIEE..
Thanks a lot....

Please use the search! this topic has come up lots of times already.

User and Group Externalization from EAS console Fails!!

Hi All, I am trying to externalize users and groups from EAS and once its done, all the login Id's (including admin and essadmin) fail. We cant log in into the server anymore because the logins are disabled.
The shared services is running fine and is talking pretty well with Essbase, but the externalization thing is not working.
The Essbase is on Linux server and shared services is on windows server and all the products are 9.3.1.
If any one faced a similar problem or have any idea regarding this issue, please let me know ASAP and would highly appreciate that as we will have to move to production soon.

You might want to Try Re-run the Config utility from the Linux-Essbase server and Re-register the Essbase with HSS.
Start the Essbase in Foreground and check if it is running
Now log on to the EAS/AAS with default admin/password if you havent changed it :); add your Essbase server using the Super user/Owner of essbase i mean the id..if you are succesful; i would always create a Test user as before Externalisation i can create users at EAS/AAS and then using Admin id ; i will push the Users/groups to the HSS by Externalising.. let me know if that helped you.

User and Group Database Migration

I am installing SecureACS 4.1 from scratch on a new Server. Is there a way for me to migrate the user and groups from a previous 2.4 and 3.0 vs install? there has to be an easier way to create all those groups and users?

Someone at Cisco decided that from 4.0 onwards they wouldnt upgrade from every previous version any more.
I think this means you'd have to upgrade the existing server to 3.1 then create a backup.
NExt install 3.1 on the new server and restore the backup.
Lastly upgrade the new server to 4.1 and cross your fingers it upgrades smoothly!
An easier (but less complete) method is simply to run csutil -d on the first server, copy the dump file to the new one and then use csutil -l. HOWEVER... this can cause problems if you're group/user config uses NDGs (eg NDG->DCS command authorisation) because only NDG indexes are in the dump file.
When you re-create the NDGs on the new server the indexes are likely all be different.
So in summary only use the csutil route if your just moving very simple groups or users.
BTW there is an option for csutil to load just the users from a dump file leaving groups untouched (run csutil -x to find out more)
Darran
ps we're seeing more people installing ACS (and aaa-reports!) under VMWare - which then makes hardware upgrades a non-issue.

Retrieving user and group information from LDAP using j_securrity_check

Hi
I am using j_security_check to authenticate users against LDAP. I have made all necessary configuration for the server to perform LDAP group search as well as mentioned in the WAS documentation of LDAP settings. Now, how can I retrieve the user and the user group info after the j_secuirty_check. Apart from the UserPrincipal object which I can get from the request which just has the user name, is there any other object which will give me the user and user group info by which I need to connect to LDAP using my java code to retrieve these informations?

Deepak

You could use the LDAP credentials and bind as that to look up the user info via the user id. Or if the server is set up to allow anonymous bind you could do it without credentials. But if all you want is group info then you should be able to call Security.getCurrentSubject().getPrincipals() to get the user principal as well as all groups (this is true in BEA WebLogic at least).
Good Luck

Can't import users and group backup

I exported the list of user names and groups prior re-installing 10.6 server.
Now when I try to import the backup, I get the error:
"The following users could not be imported because each of their first short names contains an invalid character (such as a period.)"
followed by the list of my users.
According to Apple's user creation documentation, the following characters are allowed:
"For the first short user name, use only these characters. Subsequent short names can contain any Roman character.
* a through z
* A through Z
* 0 through 9
* _ (underscore)
* - (hyphen)
. (period)"
Is that a bug? is there a way around it ?
Thanks

I am also encountering the same problem. Can anyone assist?? I had to demote my OD due to a DNS change and lost 200+ accounts unless we can find a solution.
Thanks for anyones suggestions.

How to change default /Users and /Groups to different Volume?

Users are created in /Volumes/<boot>/Users and groups in /Volumes/<boot>/Groups.
We need these to be created on a different volume, eg., /Volumes/External/Users, and /Volumes/External/Groups.
Setup Assistant correctly put user Backups into */Volumes/External/Shared Items/Backups* and also correctly put web services on /Volumes/External/ServiceData -- we want to do the same for Groups and Users.
Groups are the most critical, as the group needs bulk storage. Users we could leave as is if it can't be done.
How can this be configured? We've read File Server Admin, Open Directory Admin, and Advanced Server admin from http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html without finding an answer.
Thanks in advance.

1. Create new folders on the external volume to hold users and groups, but to prevent confusion name them something other than "Users" and "Groups". /Volumes/External/NetUsers and /Volumes/External/NetGroups would be reasonable choices.
2. Share both of these folders (in Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Volumes & Browse modes -> select each folder -> click Share near the top right).
3. Enable both folders for automounting on clients (Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Share Points-> select each folder -> Share Point tab under that -> Enable Automount option) with the default options (Directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Protocol: AFP, Use for: User home folders and group folders). Be sure to click Save (not just OK in the dialog).
4. To migrate users, run Workgroup Manager, and change the home location for the users you want to move (select Accounts in the toolbar -> /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 from the hidden pop-up menu under that -> User icon tab at the left -> select the user(s) you want to change -> Home tab on the right -> select the NetUsers option from the "Where" list). Then, for each user, run this command on the server: "sudo cp -Rp /Users/username /Volumes/External/NetUsers".
5. Similarly, move Group folders in WGM (Accounts -> /LDAP... -> Groups icon on left -> select groups to move -> Group Folder tab on right -> NetGroups in the list). Then, for each group, run "sudo cp -Rp /Groups/groupname /Volumes/External/NetGroups".
6. Test to make sure all is working before deleting the old user and group folders from /Users and /Groups (do NOT delete /Users and /Groups themselves, just the individual folders from under them).

Hi All,
We need to migrate Shared services users and groups from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 version. Any help would be appreciated. Can we use CSS import export utility?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi John, In my another environment I have to migrate the users and groups from Hyperion HSS 11.1.1.2 to Hyperion shared services 11.1.2.2. I am using LCM for that, when I export the users and gropus from 11.1.1.2, it exports fine but when i import it to my 11.1.2.2 using LCM, I am getting the below errors.
Error when I try to import the groups:

EPMIE-00024: Failed to import all of the membership info for group test group. Invalid group members encountered. Please ensure the validity of members and its existence in their respective providers.
Errors when i try to import the users:

Any idea?

LDAP User and Group import

My client has OAM as SSO provider. They want the LDAP Agent to import only users and groups but not the group memberships.
What setting should I Use for LDAP authentication ?

I have below changes in files
1] In jps-config.xml
-- Added identity store and selected it from drop down in Security Context tab.
2] In weblogic-application.xml
In Security tab --> Role assignment mapped valid-users to principle name.
<security>
<realm-name>myrealm</realm-name>
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>valid-users</role-name>
<principal-name>DERDev</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
</security>
3] Same thing done in weblogic.xml . I do not know the difference between weblogic-application.xml and weblogic.xml configuartion and which will work.
4] Added security role "DERDev" along with the default/automatically added role "valid users"
<security-role>
<role-name>DERDev</role-name>
</security-role>
Still no luck ...... i am missing again ? I referred many links but found not a single document mentioning all steps

How to create windows users and groups from Java

Hi,
Can any one please tell me, which Package/API will helps to create windows users and groups from Java.
Thanks,
M.Prem.

You can't do it with pure Java, and it's not in the core API. You'd have to write a native function to do it, using whatever API Windows provides, and then call it with JNI. Or look for a third party native-based Java library that already does that.

I successfully deleted a user from my MacBook through the Users and Groups window in System Preferences. But now I cannot close the lock in the bottom left corner of the box.

If you are admin.
Try restarting your Mac.
