Configuring an ODBC External User Database Creating an ODBC database configuration is a process that provides
Cisco Secure ACS information that enables it to pass authentication requests to an
ODBC-compliant relational database. This information reflects the way you have
implemented your relational database and does not dictate how your relational
database is configured or functions. For information about your relational
database, refer to your relational documentation.
Note Before performing this procedure, you should have completed the steps in the
“Preparing to Authenticate Users with an ODBC-Compliant Relational
Database” section on page 11-32.
To configure CiscoSecure ACS for ODBC authentication, follow these steps:
Step 1 In the navigation bar, click External User Databases.
Step 2 Click Database Configuration.
Result: Cisco Secure ACS displays a list of all possible external user database
types.
