I've installed LAE on new servers. Can I import my users from my previous installation on the old servers, like with a simple folder scp copy between servers? If we can, what is the path to that folder? Thanks, Brad

The password for admin defaults to 'welcome'.

You can't use scp to copy the users. Before 6.x, the users were stored in a simple file, but with 6.x they are stored in a database.
You can use the API to load a batch of users into the system.

stonysmith, that sounds helpful. Can you give a link to details on the API for loading a batch of users into the system?

You could use these 2 graphs to list the users and create them on a new server.

1. LM_List_Users: created by Stony, this will list all the users, along with their roles and groups. You can output this to an Excel file when you have the information you need. You won't have the users password is the only catch.

2. Create_Users: Now you can use the Excel file created in step 1 (for this example I put some dummy values into a Static Data node). Create another token on your new LAE server and the Create Users node will create each of those users on your new LAE server. I just used a generic "password" for the users password so you would have to ask everybody to change their password after. There could be a way around that by inserting values into the H2 or Oracle database, but I haven't tried it.

LM_List_Users.brg
Create_Users.brg

References: The LAE Administration Guide found in <LAE_Installation>/docs has some of the API stuff mentioned above documented.
And also the api-viewer found at http://<lae_server>:<lae_web_port>/api-viewer will show you what API calls are available to you.
