IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager, Version 2.1.1

Uploading a CSV file with the administrative console

As a privileged administrator, you can add or update the credentials, credential pools, and identity providers, that are specified in the comma-separated value (CSV) file with the administrative console. You cannot upload managed instances with the administrative console.

Before you begin

The privileged user that uploads the CSV file must have the appropriate permission.

About this task

If a credential or credential pool exists in the credential vault, IBM® Security Privileged Identity Manager uses the settings in the CSV file to modify the credentials, identity providers, or credential pools. If there is no setting change for a credential, identity provider, or credential pool, that entry is skipped.

If you are uploading a CSV file with defined managed instances, use the Service Center instead. See Uploading a CSV file for application services with Service Center.

Procedure

  1. From the navigation tree, click Manage Shared Access > Shared Access Bulk Load. The Upload CSV File page is displayed.
  2. Optional: In the Upload Name field, type a name to identify the upload operation.
  3. Click Browse to locate the CSV file that contains all the names of credentials to add to the credential vault.
  4. Submit the request for uploading the CSV file in one of these ways:
    • To submit the request immediately, click Submit Now.
    • To submit the request later, click Schedule Submission to schedule the request to upload the CSV file in the future.
    After you submit the request, a Success page is displayed that confirms that you completed your task. If the format of the CSV file is incorrect, you receive an error message. Correct the error and submit the request again.

Results

IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager adds all the entities that are specified in the CSV file.
