Appendix D CSUtil Database Utility
CSUtil.exe Options
Note Most CSUtil.exe options require that you stop the CSAuth service. While the
CSAuth service is stopped, Cisco Secure ACS does not authenticate users. To
determine if an option requires that you stop CSAuth, refer to the detailed topics
about the option. For a list of options and references to the detailed topics about
each option, see CSUtil.exe Options, page D-3.
You can combine many of the options in a single use of CSUtil.exe. If you are new
to using CSUtil.exe, we recommend performing only one option at a time, with
the exception of those options, such as -p, that must be used in conjunction with
other options.
Experienced CSUtil.exe users may find it useful to combine CSUtil.exe options,
such as in the following example, which would first import AAA client
configurations and then generate a dump of all Cisco Secure ACS internal data:
CSUtil.exe -i newnases.txt -d
CSUtil.exe Options
CSUtil.exe can perform several actions. The options, listed below in alphabetical
order, are detailed in later sections of this chapter.
• -b—Backup system to a specified filename. For more information about this
option, see Backing Up Cisco Secure ACS with CSUtil.exe, page D-6.
• -c—Recalculate database CRC values. For more information about this
option, see Recalculating CRC Values, page D-28.
• -d—Export all Cisco Secure ACS internal data to a file named dump.txt.
Using this option requires that you stop the CSAuth service. For more
information about this option, see Creating a Cisco Secure ACS Database
Dump File, page D-10.
• -e—Decode internal Cisco Secure ACS error numbers to ASCII message. For
more information about this option, see Decoding Error Numbers, page D-27.
• -g—Export group information to a file named groups.txt. Using this option
requires that you stop the CSAuth service. For more information about this
option, see Exporting Group Information to a Text File, page D-25.
