Appendix D CSUtil Database Utility
Compacting the CiscoSecure User Database
Compacting the CiscoSecure user database consists of using in conjunction three
CSUtil.exe options:
•
-d—Export all Cisco Secure ACS internal data to a text file named
dump.txt
.
•
-n—Create a CiscoSecure user database and index.
•
-l—Load all Cisco Secure ACS internal data from a text file. If you do not
specify the filename, CSUtil.exe uses the default file name
dump.txt
.
Additionally, if you want to automate this process, consider using the -q option to
suppress the confirmation prompts that otherwise appear before CSUtil.exe
performs the -n and -l options.
Note
Compacting the CiscoSecure user database requires that you stop the CSAuth
service. While CSAuth is stopped, no users are authenticated.
To compact the CiscoSecure user database, follow these steps:
Step 1
On the computer running Cisco Secure ACS, open an MS DOS command prompt
and change directories to the directory containing CSUtil.exe. For more
information about the location of CSUtil.exe, see
Step 2
If the CSAuth service is running, type:
net stop csauth
and press Enter.
The CSAuth service stops.
Step 3
Type:
CSUtil.exe -d -n -l
Press Enter.
Tip
If you include the -q option in the command, CSUtil.exe does not prompt
you for confirmation of initializing or loading the database.
