ACS Solution Engine bulk import of aaa clients

[aylmer]

I am aware that the ACS on Windows has the CSUtil.exe utility to achieve bulk importing of aaa clients(ADD_NAS statements). But is there an equivalent tool/feature with the ACS Solution Engine to achieve this.

I expect that most installations would have a large number of clients that need to be aded to the ACS. There has to be a more efficient way to add NAS devices than one at a time through the web interface.

Hi,

Unlike ACS on Windows, there is no handy utility like csutil on appliance, however, you can use dbsynchronization feature as follows to get this accomplished -

I had the same problem (when I got the hardware appliance) My solution .. Called TAC they gave me a software version, which I had to run on a win2000 server, create all the clients on this SW version and then do a database replication.

Worked well. Cisco knows abt. this limitation with the hardware appliance and hence TAC tries to help this way.
