file upload to create them. LAM will read a CSV formatted file and
create the related LDAP entries. Please check the data in you CSV file
carefully. LAM will do less checks for the file upload than for single
account creation.</p><p>At the first page please select the account type and what
extensions should be activated.</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/fileUpload1.png"></div></div><p>The next page shows all available options for the file upload. You
will also find a sample CSV file which can be used as template for your
CSV file. All red options are required columns in the file. You need to
specify a value for each account.</p><p>When you upload the CSV file then LAM first does some checks on
this file. This includes syntax checks and if all required data was
entered. No changes in the LDAP directory are done at this time.</p><p>If the checks were successful then LAM will ask again if you want
to create the accounts. You will also have the chance to check the
upload by viewing the changes in LDIF format.</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/fileUpload2.png"></div></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch04.html">Prev</a></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch04.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><a accesskey="n" href="ch04s03.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter4.Tools</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">OU editor</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
