Step 4 If you are creating a configuration, follow these steps:
a. Click Create New Configuration.

provided, or accept the default name in the box.
c. Click Submit.
Result: Cisco Secure ACS lists the new configuration in the External User
Database Configuration table.
Step 5 Click Configure.
Step 6 From the System DSN list, select the DSN that is configured on the
Cisco Secure ACS server to communicate with the ODBC-compliant relational
database you want to use.
Note If you have not configured on the CiscoSecure ACS server a DSN for
the relational database, do so before completing these steps. For more
information about creating a DSN for Cisco Secure ACS ODBC
authentication, see the “Configuring a System Data Source Name for
an ODBC External User Database” section on page 11-40.
Step 7 In the DSN Username box, type the username required to perform transactions
with your ODBC database.
Step 8 In the DSN Password box, type the password required to perform transactions
with your ODBC database.
Step 9 In the DSN Connection Retries box, type the number of times Cisco Secure ACS
should try to connect to the ODBC database before timing out. The default is 3.
Note If you have connection problems when WindowsNT/2000 starts,
increase this value.
Step 10 To change the ODBC worker thread count, in the ODBC Worker Threads box,
type the number of ODBC worker threads. The maximum thread count is 10. The
