Importing user
records from a
third-party user
database
The SafeWord import feature allows you to move large numbers of users from
a third-party user database into SafeWord. When you import a large number of
users, you must save the file as an ASCII file, with either a
.csv
or a
.txt
extension, and you must use commas as delimiters. The use of commas as
delimiters is important because if the user database to be exported has the
user name syntax “Last name, First name”, the comma between the last and
first name would be interpreted as a delimiter, and the output file would have
only last name in the user name field, then first name in the comment field. The
only required field in each user record is the user name; all other fields are
optional. The following other rules apply:
•
These characters are prohibited:
#<>+,;*:"()?|/\
•
Blank spaces are allowed
•
Maximum length for each userid is 128 characters
•
Syntax for each user entry is:
userid,comments
•
If comments are not used, the user record can be terminated after the user
name
•
If a user record contains aliases, they are allowed by syntax:
userid:alias1:alias2
(For example:
mike_smith:msmith:smithm,comments
)
To import users, do the following:
1
From the Console main menu, select
File > Import > User (CSV)
.
1
Click
Browse
in the Import User - Select File window.
2
Browse
to locate the previously exported comma separated value- (CSV)
formatted user file you want to import.
3
Click the
Open
button when the file has been located and selected. The
Import User - Select Admin Group window appears.
