Before You Begin

Because completing this procedure requires restarting the CSAuth service, which
temporarily suspends authentication services, consider performing this procedure
when demand for Cisco Secure ACS services is low.

Use the steps in

Exporting Posture Validation Attribute Definitions, page D-48

, to

create a backup of posture validation attribute definitions. You can also use the
exported attribute definition file to double-check the vendor ID, application ID,
and attribute ID of current posture validation attributes.

To import posture validation attributes, follow these steps:

Step 1

Use the discussion in

Posture Validation Attribute Definition File, page D-44

, to

create a properly formatted attribute definition file. Place the file either in the
directory containing CSUtil.exe or a directory accessible from the computer
running Cisco Secure ACS.

Step 2

On the computer running Cisco Secure ACS, open an MS DOS command prompt
and change directories to the directory containing CSUtil.exe.

Step 3

Type:

CSUtil.exe -addavp

filename

where filename is the name of the file in which you want CSUtil.exe to write all
attribute definitions. Press Enter.
