Mass Delete Users from UTM

tomrgsd
I am running version 9.201-25. So basically what happened, when I setup AD sync, it synced way too many accounts and the backend sync just kills the box. I need to be able to clear out all the remote users and have them built as authenticated. When I attempt to delete users from the Webadmin UI, It gives a message after 30 seconds if you want to wait another 30 seconds. Then, I assume, times out all together. If I SSH and watch the TOP services, the Confd will spike at 100% CPU and then after the timeout goes away. So I think it just gives up. I looks like I cannot delete more than 10 users within the time window. Unfortunately I did not backup the config before the sync and am trying to avoid resetting back to factory as I have configured a bunch of firewall objects and rules. Is there any way to clear out these users without having to start from the beginning? Any help is appreciated.

    The following is a perl script that I haven't used in a couple of years, so be warned that it is not tested on current v9.1+ versions of UTM.  Use at your own risk.  It's designed to delete any User accounts using backend/remote auth.

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use warnings;
    use strict;

    use Astaro::ConfdPlRPC;

    my $confd = Astaro::ConfdPlRPC->new or die 'cannot connect';

    $confd->lock or die 'cannot lock';

    for my $user (@{ $confd->get_objects(qw(aaa user)) }) {
      next if $user->{data}{authentication} ne 'remote';
      print "removing $user->{data}{name} ... ";
      $confd->refresh_lock;
      my $ret = $confd->del_object($user->{ref});
      if ($ret) {
        print "ok\n";
      } else {
        print "failed, aborting\n";
        $confd->disconnect;
        exit 1;
      }
    }

    $confd->commit or die 'cannot commit';
    $confd->disconnect;

    exit 0;

    Hi,

     

    where should the script be placed to run?

    Can it be run from the admin webpage?

    Hallo Oliver,

    I'd be hesitant to run that old script in a business setting.  I would recommend getting a case open with Sophos Support and having them run a current script just in case there were changes.

    Cheers - Bob
