Importing Usernames
Usernames can be added to the AMWorks software database from comma separated value (CSV)
files or LDAP servers. When the usernames are added, a default password of 123456 is
automatically assigned to the AMX switch database for each username.
NOTE: The Import Wizard filters the list of names being imported. Names already appearing in the system will
not appear in the list of usernames found.
To import usernames from a CSV file:
1. Select Admin Tools - Import from the menu bar.
2. In the Import Type box, click the User Names radio button.
3. In the Import Source box, click the File radio button. Then click the Next button.
4. Enter the name of the file you wish to import, then click the Import button.
5. A list of usernames will be displayed. Highlight the users that you wish to import and click the
Finish button.
To import usernames from an LDAP server:
1. Select Admin Tools - Import from the menu bar.
2. In the Import Type area, select User Names.
3. In the Import Source area, select LDAP Server and then click Next.
4. In the Host Address field, type the IP address or DNS name for the LDAP server from which
you wish to import names. If LDAP authentication settings are not present, the default value of
the field is blank.
5. In the Port field, enter the port number that will be the target for the calling socket. By default,
port 389 will be used for LDAP and port 636 will be used for LDAPS.
6. In the User Name field, type an LDAP Distinguished Name. (If LDAP authentication settings
are available, they will be entered already.) You must follow standard LDAP authentication
formatting rules to specify an LDAP Distinguished Name. An example would be:
cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=yourDomainName,dc=com
