and press Enter.

Loading the Cisco Secure ACS Database from a
Dump File

You can use the -l option to overwrite all Cisco Secure ACS internal data from a
dump text file. This option replaces the existing all Cisco Secure ACS internal
data with the data in the dump text file. In effect, the -l option initializes all
Cisco Secure ACS internal data before loading it from the dump text file. Dump
text files are created using the -d option. While the -d option only produces dump
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-10

.

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 computer running Cisco Secure ACS, 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.

The CSAuth service stops.
