Transfer User Accounts

John Early — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 01:47:41 GMT

I am in the process of upgrading a client's firewalls from 5520s to 5525-Xs. I have 2 independent firewalls that are merging into a single firewall. Both of the source ones have a TON of user accounts defined for remote user VPN, is there any way to move these user accounts with passwords in tact?? The goal is not to have to tell the 250+ users that they need to reset their passwords at once.

Thanks.

Hi,

To my understanding you should be able to copy/paste the "username" configuration line as is directly from the old to the new configuration.

I am not sure if the parameter for each "username" have had any changes in format. But if they have I am pretty sure you can use find/replace in some text editor to easily modify large amount of configurations to the format that the new ASA supports

I swear I did that before posting this, but I must have missed something. That worked. Thank you
