Importing User Information into the NDS Database
Name Single-value property. A value is required for this field. In the data file,
enter any unique username. For example, you can use a student or
employee identification number as the login name. This field is the user’s
login name in NDS.
Other names Multiple-value property. For example, if a user has two additional names
that you want to import, enter both of them in the data file and enter two
field definitions in the import control file called “Other names.”
Password Single-value property. In the data file, enter a unique password for the user.
Numbers, letters, and special characters may be used.
Post office box Single-value property. In the data file, enter the user’s post office box.
Postal (ZIP) code Single-value property. Enter in the data file the five- or ten-digit ZIP code.
(84111 or 84111-1111). For a Canadian address, this is the postal code.
Profile Single-value property. In the data file, enter the name of the profile object
to which this user belongs. This must include the complete NDS name of
the Profile object if the profile is in a different context than the user.
Remaining grace logins Single-value property. Normally this field is not imported. This is the
number of grace logins still remaining. It is set to the same value as in
“Grace logins allowed.” If you want this number to be different from the
“Grace logins allowed” number, you must use the modify option in
UIMPORT.
For those users whose Remaining grace logins should be the same as the
Limit grace logins, either don’t import this field or set it to the same
number you entered for Limit grace logins.
Require a password Single-value property. In the data file, type “Y” if a password is required. If
no password is required for this user, type “N.”
Require unique
passwords
Single-value property. If unique passwords are required, type “Y” in the
data file. If unique passwords are not required (in other words the user can
reuse passwords), type “N.”
Security equal to Multiple-value property. In the data file, enter the name of the objects to
which this user is security equivalent. This name must include the complete
NDS name of the object if the object is in a different context than the user.
