Creating a CiscoSecure User Database
Step 3 To confirm that you want to perform a restoration and to halt all
Cisco Secure ACS services during the restoration, type Y and press Enter.
Result: CSUtil.exe restores the specified portions of your Cisco Secure ACS data.
This process may take a few minutes.
Note If the backup file is missing a database component, CSUtil.exe displays
an error message. Such an error message applies only to the restoration of
the missing component. The absence of a database component in a backup
is usually intentional and indicates that the component was empty in
Cisco Secure ACS at the time the backup was created.
Creating a CiscoSecure User Database
You can use the -n option to create a CiscoSecure user database.
Note Using the -n option requires that you stop the CSAuth service. While CSAuth is
stopped, no users are authenticated.
Caution Using the -n option erases all user information in the CiscoSecure user database.
Unless you have a current backup or dump of your CiscoSecure user database, all
user accounts are lost when you use this option.
To create a CiscoSecure user database, follow these steps:
Step 1 If you have not performed a backup or dump of the CiscoSecure user database, do
so now before proceeding. For more information about backing up the database,
see Backing Up Cisco Secure ACS with CSUtil.exe, page D-4.
Step 2 On the Cisco Secure ACS server, 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 Location of CSUtil.exe and Related Files, page D-2.
