HI Kabelo, We typically do it from the command-line with curl.
First off, Make sure your CSV files are in the right format. If your users will be using a username/password combination, prepare your CSV file as in [1]: username;password;lastName;firstName;email If you will be using another authentication strategy (cas, google, …) you can simply omit the password column [2]: userId;lastName;firstName;email The userId should be the userId that can be used with the external authentication service. As far as the requests go: Step 1: Get a session cookie by logging in as the global administrator on the global admin website (admin.oae.com by default) ADMIN_COOKIE=$(curl -s -e "/" --cookie-jar - -d"username=administrator" -d"password=administrator" http://admin.oae.com/api/auth/login | grep connect.sess | cut -f 7) Step 2: Upload the CSV file In case you’ll by using the username/password strategy enter the following: curl -F"file=@usersWithPasswords.csv" -F"tenantAlias=cam" -F"authenticationStrategy=local" --cookie connect.sess=${ADMIN_COOKIE} -e "/" http://admin.oae.com/api/user/import In case you’ll be using an external authentication strategy such as cas curl -F"file=@casUsers.csv" -F"tenantAlias=cam" -F”authenticationStrategy=cas" --cookie connect.sess=${ADMIN_COOKIE} -e "/" http://admin.oae.com/api/user/import Kind regards, Simon [1] https://github.com/oaeproject/Hilary/blob/master/node_modules/oae-principals/tests/data/users-with-password.csv [2] https://github.com/oaeproject/Hilary/blob/master/node_modules/oae-principals/tests/data/users-without-password.csv On 27 Nov 2013, at 11:33, Kabelo Letsoalo <kab...@opencollab.co.za> wrote: > Hi guys. > > Going by the mailing list archive csv import function isn't available through > the UI yet.
