Hi:

What is the best way to import employee first names, last names, and email addresses to a predefined scalix group from a .csv file?

Thanks.

I am not aware of any way as of yet, other then creating a script and using the "plugins" feature in SAC, I still believe using .csv files would not be possible

Any way to import from .csv from the command line?

using omaddpdln should do the trick, however the email addresses listed would probably not work, but specifying the user name should work.

man omaddpdln

ok, but how would I add them to their appropriate groups. I noticed when I run the command omsearch I can see numbers for the groups, but how would I import to these groups? Thanks for your help.

OK here is what i did for the move from Imail to Scalix. This is an import from csv or a text file with csv doesn't matter

Code: Select all

$mailnode = "mailnode";
$omaddu = "/opt/scalix/bin/omaddu";
$domain = "domain.com";
while (<>) {
chomp;
next if /^#/;
($first,$last,$user,$pass) = split / *, */;
print ($first,"\n",$last,"\n",$user,"\n",$pass,"\n");
system ("$omaddu -n \'$first $last/$mailnode/IA=\"$first $last\" <$user\@$domain>\' -p $pass $user --class limited");
}

your data in the file would look like

Code: Select all

first,last,email,pass

the command would be

Code: Select all


import.pl < text.csv
