Creating a CiscoSecure User Database
To create a CiscoSecure user database, follow these steps:
Step 1 If you have not performed a backup or dump of the CiscoSecure user database, do
so now before proceeding. For more information about backing up the database,
see Backing Up Cisco Secure ACS with CSUtil.exe, page D-6. For more
information about performing a dump of the database, see Creating a
Cisco Secure ACS Database Dump File, page D-10.
Step 2 On the computer running Cisco Secure ACS, open an MS DOS command prompt
and change directories to the directory containing CSUtil.exe. For more
information about the location of CSUtil.exe, see Location of CSUtil.exe and
Related Files, page D-2.
Step 3 If the CSAuth service is running, type:
net stop csauth
and press Enter.
The CSAuth service stops.
Step 4 Type:
CSUtil.exe -n
and press Enter.
CSUtil.exe displays a confirmation prompt.
Step 5 To confirm that you want to initialize the CiscoSecure user database, type Y and
press Enter.
The CiscoSecure user database is initialized. This process may take a few
minutes.
Step 6 To resume user authentication, type:
net start csauth
and press Enter.
