Appendix D CSUtil Database Utility
Compacting the CiscoSecure User Database
Compacting the CiscoSecure user database consists of using in conjunction three
CSUtil.exe options:
• -d—Export all Cisco Secure ACS internal data to a text file named dump.txt.
• -n—Create a CiscoSecure user database and index.
• -l—Load all Cisco Secure ACS internal data from a text file. If you do not
specify the filename, CSUtil.exe uses the default file name
dump.txt.
Additionally, if you want to automate this process, consider using the -q option to
suppress the confirmation prompts that otherwise appear before CSUtil.exe
performs the -n and -l options.
Note Compacting the CiscoSecure user database requires that you stop the CSAuth
service. While CSAuth is stopped, no users are authenticated.
To compact the CiscoSecure user database, follow these steps:
Step 1 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 2 If the CSAuth service is running, type:
net stop csauth
and press Enter.
The CSAuth service stops.
Step 3 Type:
CSUtil.exe -d -n -l
Press Enter.
Tip If you include the -q option in the command, CSUtil.exe does not prompt
you for confirmation of initializing or loading the database.
