Profiles

This is an old revision of the document!

Each Permanent User, Voucher or BYOD Device has to belong to a Profile and Realm in order to be useful to RADIUS.
Before we can bulk import Permanent Users using a CSV file, we need to ensure that all the profiles used by the users in the CSV file already exist.
In this page we will show you how to read profile names from a text file and then add each one to RADIUSdesk using an API call.
We will use PHP but the principles can be applied using any programming language.

Below is the list of profiles we want to add.

MzanziFibre-12/1
MzanziFibre-25/5
MzanziFibre-25/10
MzanziFibre-50/20
MzanziFibre-100/40
MzanziFibre-100/20
MzanziFibre-250/20
MzanziFibre-250/25
MzanziFibre-250/100
MzanziFibre-400/40
MzanziFibre-500/200
MzanziFibre-1000/50
MzanziFibre-1000/400

We store this file in the same directory as the script we will run to add them.

There are a few items which will be unique to your specific deployment.
It is
- The Token.
- The Cloud ID.
- The server's FQDN / IP Address.
The Token can be found when you edit an Admin.
The Cloud ID is listed under the Cloud Applet.

Below is the result of our script:
