How do I import and export user accounts in the Domain Server?

The Domain Server allows administrators to export and import user account information through its command-line interface.

Exporting User Accounts

By default, the Domain Server will export user account information into two files:

  • security.export – Text format

  • security.export.xml – XML format for import

Steps to Export

  1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

  2. Navigate to the AutoPilot_Home/naming directory.

  3. Run the following command :

ATPNAMES -e

This creates security.export and security.export.xml in the current directory.

Importing User Accounts

You can import user accounts back into the Domain Server using a previously exported security.export.xml file.

Steps to Import

  1. Ensure the XML file is:

    • In the correct format (typically generated during a prior export).

    • Located in the AutoPilot_Home/naming directory.

  2. Run the following command:

ATPNAMES -z

  1. Restart the Domain Server for the changes to take effect.

Important Notes

  • The Domain Server always imports from the file named security.export.xml — this file name cannot be changed.

  • Importing does not delete any existing users.

  • If a user already exists, their information will be replaced.

  • If a user is new, they will be added.
