Account Import Overview

To simplify mass deployments, you can use the Account Import feature 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.
• Reorganize existing CA DLP users to synchronize them with an external user hierarchy, for example, an LDAP directory structure.
• Create new CA DLP accounts for unknown users. These are imported users who have no corresponding account in CA DLP.
• Add a domain as a prefix to all imported user account names, such as unipraxis\frankschaeffer.
• Update CA DLP user accounts with imported attributes such as e-mail addresses and employee IDs.

Note: For full details about user import operations, see the Deployment Guide; search the index for 'Account Import'.
