Overview

To simplify mass deployments, Account Import enables administrators to import user details into CA DLP from an external Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory or a source file. Account Import can import new users and groups into the existing CA DLP user hierarchy, or it can reorganize existing users to synchronize them with an external hierarchy. It can also import user attributes such as email addresses and employee IDs.

For machines, Account Import can bulk create new accounts and pre-assign them to parent servers. It can also reparent existing client machines and gateways in advance of the CA DLP rollout.

This section describes how to run import operations from a command line and by using the Account Import wizard. It also provides full details about parameters files and command files.
