LFDS - Import User List - Custom Settings

asked on October 13, 2020

For implementations where the client does NOT have an Active Directory identity provider, we are manually importing "Laserfiche Users" into LFDS using the CSV format.  When importing, we are setting the groups and the option for each "User must change password at next sign-in", but we need to also set the option for "Ignore password expiration policy".  This setting does not seem to be available when bulk importing.  I checked the SQL DB to see if there was a value/setting that could be updated and found the flag "49" to set this, however, the users we manually added just recently are not showing up [directory_object] table.  Has anyone bulk updated this setting for users or know how this can be done?

Hi Paul,

I've added a feature request to our backlog for this functionality (DS-I-53). Flag value "49" should work for Laserfiche users using all defaults except for "Ignore password expiration policy" enabled (this flag value will change if the user is disabled, MFA enabled, etc). I am not sure what you mean when you say that not all users are in the directory_objects table, as all users in LFDS should be in there.

Chase, 

Yes it's very odd because we manually added 369 users using the Import User list from CSV and we tested 2 of the users access.  So I know their accounts work and SHOULD be in the database, but I do not show them in the LFDS SQL database.

Hi Paul,

 

When you say you are setting the option "User must change password at next sign-in", are you doing this in the CSV file or directly changing the field password_uses_left in directory_objects to NULL?  I do not see this option in the Admin guide (https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/Laserfiche/10/en-US/administration/#../Subsystems/LFDS/Content/BatchImportOfUsers.htm)

 

Thanks,

Paul
