Hi,

How to add a bulk of users in Local users?

I tried to export file to fill users but XML cannot be modified. Every times ClearPass did not accept modified XML when importing.

I remembered in previous version of ClearPass, it can be exported in CSV.

Importing the XML is 'the way to go'. I just tested with the following XML file, and that works fine in my ClearPass 6.7:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<TipsContents xmlns="http://www.avendasys.com/tipsapiDefs/1.0">
  <TipsHeader exportTime="Thu Jan 25 09:57:28 CET 2018" version="6.7"/>
  <LocalUsers>
    <LocalUser changePwdNextLogin="false" enabled="true" roleName="[Employee]" passwordNtlmHash="" passwordHash="" password="testing123" userName="Local User import-test" userId="import01"/>
  </LocalUsers>
</TipsContents>

What I did was export all accounts, remove the role-mapping section, changed password, username, userid. File was named LocalUser.xml.

Is it replace all database in XML file? or add more only?

It will add new users and update the fields on existing users.

Users that are in the database already and are not in the XML are not affected and stay untouched.
