Appendix D Cisco Secure ACS Command-Line Database Utility
CSUtil.exe Options
You can combine many of the options in a single use of CSUtil.exe. If you are new
to using CSUtil.exe, we recommend performing only one option at a time, with
the exception of those options, such as -p, that must be used in conjunction with
other options.
Experienced CSUtil.exe users may find it useful to combine CSUtil.exe options,
such as in the following example, which would first import AAA client
configurations and then generate a dump of all Cisco Secure ACS internal data:
CSUtil.exe -i newnases.txt -d
CSUtil.exe Options
CSUtil.exe can perform several actions. The options, listed below in alphabetical
order, are detailed in later sections of this chapter.
• -b—Backup system to a specified filename. For more information about this
option, see Backing Up Cisco Secure ACS with CSUtil.exe, page D-4.
• -c—Recalculate database CRC values. For more information about this
option, see Recalculating CRC Values, page D-27.
• -d—Export all Cisco Secure ACS internal data to a file named dump.txt.
Using this option requires that you stop the CSAuth service. For more
information about this option, see Creating a Cisco Secure ACS Database
Dump File, page D-8.
• -e—Decode internal Cisco Secure ACS error numbers to ASCII message. For
more information about this option, see Decoding Error Numbers, page D-26.
• -g—Export group information to a file named groups.txt. Using this option
requires that you stop the CSAuth service. For more information about this
option, see Exporting Group Information to a Text File, page D-24.

a specified file. For more information about this option, see Importing User
and AAA Client Information, page D-13.

named file. Using this option requires that you stop the CSAuth service. For
more information about this option, see Loading the Cisco Secure ACS
Database from a Dump File, page D-9.
