Issue

This Article provides instructions on how to run the AMBA Utility without the need to create TXT/CSV files.

Resolution

This can be done with the Standard Input (stdin) stream approach, where keystrokes become the input to the utility instead of files. The command format will be as below:

./rsautil AMBulkAdmin -i stdin -o <Optional_Output_log> --verbose -a <Super_Admin_Username> -P <Super_Admin_Password>

Afterwards, a prompt will open to type in what would typically be in the input file. This is an example with the LUI function:

Notes

1. Make sure to type QUIT before executing the function, as this is the escape flag from the utility.
2. The -o and –verbose options are not mandatory, this if for Troubleshooting if needed.
3. The AMBA 8.x guides can be referenced for more details.
4. The results are saved in a CSV file AMBulkAdminResults that is located under /opt/rsa/am/utils of the primary Authentication Manager.
