3.13.2.6 Dumpusers

The dumpusers tool writes all groups, users and rules currently managed in a Content Server into an XML file. You can use this file later on with the restoreusers tool to restore the user settings (see Section 3.13.2.14, “Restoreusers”). The structure of the XML file is defined by the lib/xml/coremedia-userrepository.xsd schema. It contains a nested structure of group elements which contain rules defined for this group and elements representing the members of this group.

<group id="g13" name="global-manager" contentgroup="true" livegroup="false"
       administrative="false">
  <rule content="/Settings/Meta/Mail" type="CMMail" rights="RMDAP"/>
  <rule content="/Settings/Options/Bundles" type="CMSettings" rights="RMDAP"/>
  <rule content="/Settings/Options/Settings" type="CMSettings" rights="RMAP"/>
  <rule content="/Settings/Taxonomies" type="CMTaxonomy" rights="RMDAP"/>
  <rule content="/Themes" type="CMObject" rights="RMDAP"/>
  <rule content="/Themes" type="CMTemplateSet" rights="RMDAP"/>
  <rule content="/Themes" type="Folder_" rights="RMDAP"/>
  <members>
    <group name="global-site-manager-c" contentgroup="true" livegroup="false"
           administrative="false">
      <rule content="/Sites/Chef Corp." type="CMObject" rights="RMDAPS"/>
      <rule content="/Sites/Chef Corp." type="Folder_" rights="RMDAPS"/>
      <rule content="/Settings/Taxonomies" type="CMTaxonomy" rights="RMDAP"/>
      <members>
        <user id="u10" name="Colin" home="/Home/Colin"/>
        <user id="u9" name="Rick C" home="/Home/Rick C"/>
      </members>
    </group>
  </members>
</group>

Example 3.24. Snippet of dumpusers output

For a description of the flags shown at the rights attribute, see Section 3.15.2, “User Rights Management”.

Groups managed in an external user repository only appear in the output file if there are rights rules defined for those groups.

Restrictions

User passwords are never exported for security reasons. To transfer password data from one system to another (after transferring basic user data with cm dumpusers/cm restoreusers), password hashes in column authData of DB table CmUsers need to be exported from the source DB and imported to the target DB via DB tools. If passwords are encrypted (see Section 3.13.2.7, “Encryptpasswords”), the same secret key needs to be used on the target DB. It is recommended to set the Content Management Server of the target system to runlevel "offline" before changing its DB directly.

cm dumpusers [(1) connection options]
[ { -f | --file } file | [ { -e | --encoding } encoding ]]
[ -ie | --include-uuids ]
[ -P | --pretty ]
[ -v | --verbose ](1) { -u | --user } user [ { -d | --domain } domain ] [ { -p | --password } password ] [-url IOR URL]

Example 3.25. Usage of dumpusers

The options have the following meaning:

Parameter	Description
{ `-e` \| `--encoding` } `encoding`	Defines the encoding for the output. Default is UTF-8. An encoding can only be used when the tool dumps in a file.
{ `-f` \| `--file` } `file`	File where to write dump users to. May be provided as URL. If unset, the XML will be printed to standard output.
`-ie` \| `--include-uuids`	Toggles export of UUIDs of users and groups. If contained, UUIDs will be automatically taken into account when restoring users, unless skipped explicitly. For Built-In Members Only While UUIDs will be written for built-in members as well as external members (for example provided by LDAP), the UUIDs for external members will be ignored when restoring users. It is expected, that your external user provider generates a stable unique ID. If for any reason the UUIDs for external members do not match, you will get an information about this issue.
`-P` \| `--pretty`	Pretty print file.
`-v` \| `--verbose`	Toggle verbose output.
