CM 6.3 Bulk Admin Accounts 1

[djstandridge]

I have been looking for a way to do a bulk import of admin accounts to CM 6.3. Is there anyway to do this I have about 100 accounts to add to 3 different switches.

Thanks

You can use ASA to do bulk imports, but you will be limited on the features you can configure per user. I'd try that first though and see if it is what you want.

If it isn't, your next option is to contact a BP that has ProVision and have them do it.

Thanks Randy.. we had a ProVision license but the company decided not to renew it. It was really handy since we were migrating to an enterprise.

I would say that you cannot do any bulk admin for accounts.
accounts are logins and passwords or asg keys as well as environment for each
user. To allow this would be a security risk to say the least.

There are tools for export and import of user-profiles from SAT in CM
for user-profiles 20 - 69
These are used to allow or disallow logins access for specific administration and maintenance
commands.

AvayaTier3- these are all engineers that support all of our systems. We provide default password and force to change. Thought maybe by using xml we could do it. Guess I need to start inputting manually.

login administration for CM Linux servers prior to cm4 was controlled by SAT commands and sync from CM to Linux was done in post processing. For some platforms such as s8400 and s8500 this post processing also sync this data to MPC / SAMP.

cm4 and cm5 was moved from CM SAT to Linux. Linux bash or web browser became the tools used for login access to Linux, CM SAT (user-profiles, web browser (WebProfiles) and sync to CM for SAT access.

CM6 has added more layers to login administration when virtual environments became part of the platforms.
CLI access to SAT, Linux bash for CM, Dom0, WebLM, Cdom, CoRes AES, SES, CMM, IA770 as well as web browser access and permissions for server / virtual environment management, system manager, session manager, utility server, MAS, MSS, CMS, etc.

All of these have their own administration for logins, passwords, permissions
and it's a combination of linux, web interface, that are the tools to allow you
to program and control access to these servers and environments.

If any tool that Avaya has will do this, it would be System Manager. I don't think they have done this yet.

I just realized I misread your question -- I ignored the "admin" part of admin accounts.

Bulk admin? Maybe you could script it out using the cmuseradd command. I've never attempted it, nor have I used it but if it works as the online help says it does then you could pass most of the configuration in through a script. You'll have to generate the encrypted password beforehand.

They have just done it for system manager 7

You can script it. CM Administrators can be added via the CLI and their password set. Even if you don't script it you will find it much quicker using the cmuseradd and and cmpasswd commands.
