Deprecation of Import System Users Functionality

  • Updated

As of ADONIS NP 4.6.1 and ADOIT 7.6.1, released on March 21, 2017, the Import System Users functionality in the Administration Toolkit of BOC Management Office Products was officially deprecated. With the release of ADONIS 16.0, ADOIT 17.0 and ADOGRC 13 in 2024, this functionality has been completely removed and replaced by improved functionality.

What Has Been Deprecated and Removed?

The following features have been discontinued:

  • Importing System Users via the Administration Toolkit.
  • Log in to the Administration Toolkit using imported system users.

Functionality in Older Versions

In versions prior to ADONIS 16.0, ADOIT 17.0 and ADOGRC 13, it was still possible to:

  1. Import system users using this feature.
  2. Log in to the Administration Toolkit with these users.

However, this functionality was tied to the use of a Windows operating system and a Rich Client architecture. Since ADONIS 16.0, ADOIT 17.0 and ADOGRC 13 and later versions are designed to align with modern platform standards, this legacy functionality is no longer supported.

Recommended Alternatives

To replace the deprecated Import System Users feature, BOC Management Office products now support user bulk synchronization, conversion via BOC technical support to local users and SSO mechanisms.

  • If you've ordered an update via BOC, your BOC technical support agent may convert affected users to local users, if desired. Thus, users need to manually log in in with username and password.
  • To import system users, you can use the user bulk synchronization mechanisms that are available in the web client and can be configured via the authentication configuration on the administration page.
  • Setup of SSO and/or LDAP via BOC can be ordered

Impact on Existing Users

System users previously imported through the discontinued mechanism will no longer be able to log in using the web client in BOC Management Office Product and subsequent versions.

Administrators are encouraged to migrate to the bulk synchronization methods to maintain user access.
