Importing a list of users
The import feature provides a simple way to add a list of new local users in one operation. You can create a CSV file in any spreadsheet and import the data as long as the columns match the FortiMail format.
To create and import user records
1. Go to User > User > User.
2. Create at least one local (non-LDAP) user.
3. Select that user and click Export .CSV.
4. Save the file on your local computer.
5. Open the CSV file in a spreadsheet editor, such as Microsoft Excel.
6. Enter user records in the pre-existing columns so the new users exactly match the exported format. (Delete the original exported user record.)
7. Use the Save As feature to save the file in plain CSV format.
8. On the User tab, click Import.
A dialog appears.
9. Click Browse to locate the CSV file to import and click Open.
10. Click OK.
A field appears showing the percentage of import completion.
A dialog appears showing the number of imported records.
The import feature does not overwrite existing records.
To change the password of multiple email user accounts
| This procedure sets the same password for one or more email user accounts, which can result in reduced security of the email users’ accounts. To reduce risk, set a strong password and notify each email user whose password has been reset to configure a unique, strong password as soon as possible. |
1. Go to User > User > User.
2. From Show Users Of Domain, select the name of the protected domain in which you want to change email user account passwords.
3. To change the passwords of all email user accounts for the protected domain, mark the check box located in the check box column heading.
To change the passwords of individual email user accounts, in the check box column, mark the check boxes of each email user account whose password you want to change.
4. Click Password.
5. Select either:
• Password, then enter the password for this email account, or
• LDAP, then select the name of an LDAP profile in which you have enabled and configured the User Auth Options query, which enables the FortiMail unit to query the LDAP server to authenticate the email user.
6. Click OK.
