Result: Cisco Secure ACS saves the NDS configuration you created. You can add
it to your Unknown User Policy or assign specific user accounts to use this
database for authentication. For more information about the Unknown User
Policy, see Unknown User Processing, page 12-1. For more information about
configuring user accounts to authenticate using this database, see Chapter 7,
“Setting Up and Managing User Accounts.”
ODBC Database
As with Windows NT/2000 database support, Cisco Secure ACS
ODBC-compliant relational database support enables you to make use of existing
user records held in an external ODBC-compliant relational database.
Configuring Cisco Secure ACS to authenticate against an ODBC-compliant
relational database does not affect the configuration of the relational database. To
manage your relational database, refer to your relational database documentation.
The Windows ODBC feature enables you to create a data source name (DSN),
which specifies the database and other important parameters necessary for
communicating with the database. Among the parameters you provide are the
username and password required for the ODBC driver to gain access to your
ODBC-compliant relational database.
