Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 4.6 Wichtige Sicherheitsanweisungen

The CLI Bulk Users Import command, ipics_import_users, lets you add or update information about up 
to 5,000 users to Cisco IPICS in a single transaction. This command can import an input file, which is a 
file in Comma-Separated Value (CSV) format that defines the users to add, or a file in LDAP Data 
Interchange Format (LDIF) that defines the users to add or update.

This command also lets you perform a direct LDAP import operation, which adds users directly from an 
LDAP server. And you can activate or deactivate a recurring LDAP import process that automatically 
performs a direct LDAP import operation at regular intervals.

The CLI Bulk Users Import command supports importing of LDAP users from Windows Active 
Directory only.

The following guidelines apply to this command:

When you execute the Bulk Users Import command, the system validates each record in the input 
file. Records that pass the validation process are imported. Records that do not pass the validation 
process are rejected and saved in a Rejected file.

Importing a CSV file configures in Cisco IPICS a wide variety of information for each user who is 
added. Importing an LDIF file or using the recurring LDAP import process configures in 
Cisco IPICS only the following items for each user who is added:

Login ID—Mapped to the User Logon Name field that appears on the Start > Administrative 
Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers > User > Account tab on the Active Directory 
server

First name—Mapped to the First name field on the Start > Administrative Tools > Active 
Directory Users and Computers > User > General tab on the Active Directory server

Last name—Mapped to the Last name field on the Start > Administrative Tools > Active 
Directory Users and Computers > User > General tab on the Active Directory server

Before you can import an LDIF file, the Use LDAP Authentication option in the Cisco IPICS 
Administration Console must be enabled for the ops view to which the imported users will belong. 
For more information, see the “Adding Ops Views” section in Cisco IPICS Server Administration 
Guide.

The direct LADP import and recurring LDAP import operations support non-SSL encrypted LDAP 
authentication only. If your LDAP server supports an SSL encrypted port only, use the option for 
importing an LDIF file with the Bulk Users Import command.

The LDAP import configuration options controls several aspects of the direct LDAP import and the 
recurring LDAP import operations. You can view and update these options as described in the
