Title: User database
Post by: aab on January 08, 2024, 09:12:18 PM
Hi,
Is it possible that I can import the opnsense's user database along with the passwords ?
I have done that in the past using the ldapsearch with another system which was running LDAP.
I want to take the usernames and the passwords from the opnsense and import them to another linux's user database (/etc/passwd & /etc/shadow).

Please advice.

Regards

In the case of OPNsense, which is a firewall and routing platform based on FreeBSD, it might not be a straightforward task to directly import user information into a Linux system's /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. For this reason, it is recommended to use a data enrichment company (https://www.globaldatabase.com/top-10-b2b-data-providers-in-2024) that specializes in integrating disparate data sources. These companies can help you to securely and efficiently import your user data into OPNsense, ensuring that your system is properly configured and operational.
