Migrating users from LMS 3.2 to 4.0

[Eydfinnur Mortensen]

Hello all!

Is there a way to migrate Local Users from LMS 3.2 on one standalone machine to another standalone machine with the new LMS 4.0 ?

Would be nice not to have to define all the users again.

I don't think so

The cwpass file is replaced by an XML file.

You could restore a 3.2 backup of course (if both version are  on the same OS type)

But that will bring back more then just the users

Cheers,

Michel

Thank you Michel for your answer.

Just hoped for an easy way.

The roles and the restrictions have been enhanced quite a bit in 4.0

That makes it had to be backwards compatible, so much new posibilities

But you may wish to review the roles as you can customize them now 

And you can import an XML files with the users and thier permissions

Only I believe cisco forgot to document the possible contents of this file so you need to reverse engineer it a bit

Cheers,

Michel

Yes

I had hoped that such as users passwords could be imported into the new one, so the user could immediately go in and use the new LMS 4.0.

Thanks again.
