Hello everyone,
I just installed Cisco Prime LMS 4.1, and now I want the user authentication to integrate with my TACACS server. I try to add my users with the same username as they appear in Tacacs, but in LMS when I try to add a user that has a dot in it, ex: "smith.j" it says that the "." is an invalid character. Is there a way around that, because I don't want to rename every user in Tacacs, plus the fact that I want to integrate Tacacs with LDAP soon.
Thanks a lot for your help.

There is also a policy for usernames in LMS.
Admin -> System -> User Management -> Local User Policy Setup
That currently says no dot in the name, which I believe is a good thing actually :-)
Check that first.

If your TACACS server is Cisco Secure ACS, you can try to import the users with the CLI utility below directly.
To import users from ACS through CLI, enter the following commands:
•NMSROOT/bin/perl NMSROOT/bin/AddUserCli.pl -importFromAcs Filename Password (on Solaris/Soft Appliance)
•NMSROOT\bin\perl NMSROOT\bin\AddUserCli.pl -importFromAcs Filename Password (on Windows)
where,
•Filename — Ouput of executing CSUtil.exe.
•Password — ACS password which is the default password assigned to all users.
If you're running another TACACS server, you can export the user + pass from that, then import the list with a script built around the "NMSROOT/bin/perl NMSROOT/bin/AddUserCli.pl -add" utility:
In either case, hopefully the CLI tools would whine about or acquiesce to the dot in the username.
