Adding and Importing Users

Users can be added to Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication individually, or imported using a .csv file. Users who do not have an Active Directory account must be imported manually.

Adding Users Manually

To add users manually, add an Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication user, Import IBM i user profiles, then link them to the Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication you added:

  1. On the Navigation Pane, click Users.
  2. Click Add > Add User. The New User screen appears.
  3. Enter the user's details. If you want Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication's Smart Match feature to automatically match the user to imported IBM i users, set the Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication Name to the IBM i User Profile Name. Or, you can use the 'IBM i Profiles and Systems' section at the bottom to specify the attached IBM i profiles manually.
  4. Click Save. Repeat for additional IBM i users.

Importing Multiple Users Using a .CSV File

  1. On the Navigation Pane, click Users.
  2. Click Add > Import Users. The Import Users screen appears.

  3. Under Import Type, choose either MFA users (Import from CSV)) or IBM i profiles (Import from CSV), depending on the users being imported.

    The CSV documents used to import must contain the user information in a very specific order.

    The documents themselves must be comma separated documents (that is, in .csv format). The column orders are as follows:

    Column order for Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication user import

    • Username (must be unique)
    • LDAP username (can be blank)
    • Full name (required)
    • Email address (required)
    • RADIUS username (can be blank - if RADIUS authentication is enabled, the MFA user name will be used to set a value for this field)
    • Group name (group must exist)
    • Enabled (T or F for “true” or “false”)

    • Authenticate user (T or F for “true” or “false”)

      NOTE: For Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication users, the license terms are checked during import. The number of enabled users you will be allowed to import is limited the the amount authorized by your license.

    Column order for IBM i profile import

    • IBM i alias (required – IBM i agent system alias displayed in Insite)
    • IBM i user profile (required)

    • MFA user name (must be a valid MFA user name)

      NOTE: If Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication is active on the IBM i server conducting the import, the imported users will automatically be activated.
  4. Click Choose File.
  5. Select the .csv file containing the user information.
  6. Click Upload.
