Hi Community, I want to ask, if there is any possibility to do an import with XLS files with more parameters than the ones showed on https://gluu.org/docs/user-management/xlsfile/ (Username, First Name, Last Name, Email). I saw under 'Configuration -> JSON Configuration -> OXTrust Import Person Configuration' some parameters that can work, but when i add parameters, nothing happens on the import xls. Should i configure something more in order to import users with more parameters from xls? I don't want to put the customer in a situation like 'develop his own import module with scim'. And would be great to find a cool solution like xls import for him. thanks so much!

I think we need to do some testing on this issue.

"massive import from XLS file" is a bad idea. This feature is for 100 users or so for a small organization... For a large import, you should genereate LDIF, and use slapdd (openldap) or import-ldif (OpenDJ).

Hi, I am looking at a similar requirement where I need to import millions of users from a MySQL database. Can you please elaborate on this. Has there been any further enhancements on how to go about this ?

Is There any other way I can get the information, without having to buy that book? Regards, V.

Read the [RFC on LDIF](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2849) and write a script to generate it properly. Also look hard at the ldap data under `ou=people,o=(org-inum),o=gluu` and make sure the data that you generate is consistent with that.
