Import User Data from a file?

J

Jim Banks

I want to import multiple user data, (username, password and acess level),
into the permissions database, from a file (.csv). Is there a way to do
this?

What OS, and how is this related to FP?

Yes, there's almost certainly a way of importing username,
passwords, and acess level from a .csv file and into a
permissions database.

For a more detailed response, please describe this
permissions database in greater detail. For example:

o Does this permissions database already exist?
o Does the application already exist?
o Is the database Access, SQL Server, Oracle, Active
Directory, Unix, or what?

I'm using FP on XP and Unix/FP Extensions server. My ISP resinstalled the
extensions and wipped out our membership database, over 1000. I don't want
to reenter them all manually.

Hi Jim

I'm using FP on XP and Linux/FP Extensions server, members are registered
manually in the security menu using FP. FP Extensions were reinstalled and
it wipped out my membership database (over 1000). I have username, password
and can add whatever I need to in .csv or whatever type of file would be
needed. This would be a life saver if you could help me out as I'm looking
at entering it all manually. I suspect some form of script would do the job
or a formatted and properly located file.

Create a new user, then look for the .htaccess file either in the root or the specific folder you
are protecting, then follow the format to add your users back.

Suggestion for the future, switch to a database driven login applications.

This one is by me, but you might try browsing

http://groups.google.com/groups?group=microsoft.public.frontpage.extensions.unix

and doing a search for likely keywords. If that doesn't produce
results, try posting a quesstion to that newsgroup.
