Resolution

This KB article demonstrates how to create users by batch with the user-importer tool.

The user-importer tool is useful when creating several local users in batches versus creating users one-by-one from the GUI. Users are imported from a csv file and then inserted in the Users table in the Master database.

Below are the explanations of each parameters of the user-importer tool:

usage: user-importer [-version | -help | -insert -f <file> [-u <scheme://username:password@hostname:port/path>]]

User Importer

-f <path>   path to the .csv file (required to insert)

-help       show usage

-insert     Insert user data in database from CSV file. CSV file path, host webservice url, user and password are required.

-u <url>    webservice url, username and password in the form of scheme://username:password@hostname:port/path

-version    show version

Example : -insert -f ./file.csv -u https://admin:[email-masked]:48443/Tools/Administration-Tool/Default

The csv file should contain the following information in the correct order, for each user:

Username - Required

Password - Should be blank or empty when LDAP authentication is configured, and username is NT username

Title - Can be empty

Firstname - Required

Lastname - Required

Email - Can be empty

Rolename - Can be empty; default is user

Treetemplate - Can be empty

Masterfilter - Can be empty

User state - Can be empty; default is enabled

Here is an example of the contents of a csv file:

testuser,password,Ms.,abc,xyz,[email-masked],user,,,,

To run the tool, go to opt/APG/bin for Linux or Program Files\APG\bin in Windows.

Successful import in Linux
[root@APG bin]# ./user-importer.sh -insert -f user.csv -u https://admin:changeme@localhost:48443/Tools/Administration-Tool/Default

INFO     -- [2014-06-11 11:35:37 EDT] -- CsvParser::parse(): Parsing user.csv ...

INFO     -- [2014-06-11 11:35:38 EDT] -- CsvParser::parse(): Parsing completed

INFO     -- [2014-06-11 11:35:40 EDT] -- MainCLI::<init>(): User import completed. 1 users imported on 1

From Windows command prompt:
C:\Program Files\APG\bin>user-importer.cmd -insert -f user.csv -u https://admin:changeme@localhost:48443/Tools/Administration-Tool/Default

If the user already exists in the database, it will return the following error:

INFO     -- [2014-06-11 12:10:55 EDT] -- CsvParser::parse(): Parsing user.csv ...

INFO     -- [2014-06-11 12:10:55 EDT] -- CsvParser::parse(): Parsing completed

SEVERE   -- [2014-06-11 12:10:57 EDT] -- MainCLI::<init>(): Error saving user name : testuser

INFO     -- [2014-06-11 12:10:57 EDT] -- MainCLI::<init>(): User import completed. 0 users imported on 1

You can confirm further if user has been imported by logging into the portal with admin rights. Go to Administration > Users to see the list of users.
