Import from UNIX

The UNIX to CA GovernanceMinder converter accepts UNIX IDM files and converts them into CA GovernanceMinder formatted CSV files which can then be transformed into or incorporated in a CA GovernanceMinder configuration. The UNIX Group and Password files serve as input for the conversion process. You must transfer these source files to a location on your Windows system that can be accessed by CA GovernanceMinder.

To import data from UNIX into CA GovernanceMinder

1. Transfer the UNIX Group and Password files to a location on the Windows system.
2. Click Import, Import from UNIX.

   The Unix Converter window opens.

3. In the Source Unix Files section, enter the location of the UNIX password and group files.
4. In the Target Files section click Browse to select the target CA GovernanceMinder files to be generated. You must generate a Configuration file, Users file and Resources file.
5. To treat the UNIX groups as CA GovernanceMinder resources select the Groups as Resources check box.
6. Click Convert to initiate the conversion process and create the CA GovernanceMinder configuration files.

The configuration is created in the target folder but is not automatically opened by CA GovernanceMinder.
