Description
importtools is a tool to manage users in DigDash’s LDAP. It is particularly useful when handling a big user base.
The importtools can be directly launched via the provided command file “importtools.bat”, with the arguments by default (that you can modify editing the .bat file)
or
It can be executed via the Java tool “importtools.jar” provided in <digdash_install>\add-ons\tools\lib avec the arguments by default that you can change (see below).
java -jar importtools.jar [-conf configfile] [-users userfile] [-out outputfile]
With this tool, you can then administrate your users via the following operations.
Importing users
The tool needs two input files :
- The configuration file in XML format : the sample file conf.xml already exists in <digdash_install>\add-ons\tools\importtools ; it contains a list of attributes corresponding to a user’s attributes in LDAP.
- The users file in Excel or CSV format ; the sample file users.xls already exists in <digdash_install>\add-ons\tools\importtools ; it contains all the users (one user per line) to import in LDAP. Its columns correspond to the attributes in the XML configuration file.
And one output file :
- The output file in XML format : it is named « out.xml » by default. It is generated after executing the « importtools » with the two previous input files ; the final file is generated so it can map with LDAP’s structure.
Removing users
It is possible to remove all or a part (depending on conditions) of the users in LDAP.
Exporting users
It is possible to export the users from LDAP.
