About User and AAA Client Import File Format
The import file can contain six different line types, as discussed in following
topics. The first line of the import file must be one of the tokens defined in
Table D-1 .
Each line of a CSUtil.exe import file is a series of colon-separated tokens. Some
of the tokens are followed by values. Values, like tokens, are colon-delimited. For
tokens that require values, CSUtil.exe expects the value of the token to be in the
colon-delimited field immediately following the token.
ONLINE or OFFLINE Statement
CSUtil.exe requires an ONLINE or OFFLINE token in an import text file. The file
must begin with a line that contains only an ONLINE or OFFLINE token. The
ONLINE and OFFLINE tokens are described in
Table D-1 .

Required
Description
ONLINE Either ONLINE or
OFFLINE must be
present — The CSAuth service remains active while
CSUtil.exe imports the text file. CSUtil.exe
performance is slower when run in this mode, but
Cisco Secure ACS continues to authenticate users
during the import.
OFFLINE Either ONLINE or
OFFLINE must be
present
— The CSAuth service is stopped while CSUtil.exe
imports the text file. Although CSUtil.exe
performance is fastest in this mode, no users are
authenticated during the import.
If you need to import a large amount of user
information quickly, consider using the OFFLINE
token. While performing an import in the OFFLINE
mode stops authentication during the import, the
import is much faster. For example, importing
100,000 users in the OFFLINE mode takes less than
one minute.
