Hello Sebastian,

The best way to approach this is to use the API, if you can export the users to some sort of list or CSV file, then:

Tracing the admin portal for adding a user to the local db.. This API is being called.

https://aaserver.example.com/rest/admin/api/local_users

POST method

{

  "id": null,

  "loginame": "username",

  "fname": "John",

  "lname": "Doe",

  "desc": "test account",

  "password": "password",

  "confirmation": "password",

  "last_fail_at": "",

  "is_locked": false,

  "errors": {}

}

The server responds with

{

    "id": "0daf67166cf511ee8f6f0242ac110002",

    "loginame": "username",

    "fname": "John",

    "lname": "Doe",

    "desc": "test account",

    "repo_id": "2917e52c96b211ea916a0242ac110003",

    "repo": {

        "id": "2917e52c96b211ea916a0242ac110003",

        "name": "LOCAL",

        "tenant_name": "TOP",

        "class_name": "LocalRepo",

        "config": {

            "tenant_name": "TOP",

            "fast_sync_enabled": true,

            "sync_data": {

                "last_full_sync_result": "",

                "last_full_sync_error": "",

                "last_fast_sync_result": "",

                "last_fast_sync_error": ""

            }

        }

    }

}

You could write an utility to create the users from a list and assign them a common password. We would need to satisfy the value for loginame and password to generate entries in the local db.

Also you could do this with Postman by using the CSV to provide “test” data. You can have postman repeatedly call the API then.

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Dear Luciano,

I have tried to do this call via postman but I keep getting error 404. When doing it from AdminUI it works like you wrote.

I am using next curl generated by postman:

This is an undocumented admin API. So you would need to first login as a user that is full admin prior to making the call to add users to the local db.

You could also try to use SLAnalyser to automate this.

For this we would suggest that you use the browser developer tools or fiddler and trace the logon to the admin portal to see what is required for logon to the admin API.
