RDBMS Synchronization
Note If you intend to replicate user-defined RADIUS vendor and VSA configurations,
user-defined RADIUS vendor and VSA definitions to be replicated must be
identical on the primary and secondary Cisco Secure ACSes, including the
RADIUS vendor slots that the user-defined RADIUS vendors occupy. For more
information about database replication, see
CiscoSecure Database Replication,
page 9-1 .
For specific information about all actions that RDBMS Synchronization can
perform, see
Appendix F, “RDBMS Synchronization Import Definitions” .
RDBMS Synchronization Components
The RDBMS Synchronization feature comprises two components:
• CSDBSync—A dedicated Windows service that performs automated user
and group account management services for Cisco Secure ACS.
• accountActions Table—The data object that holds information used by
CSDBSync to update the CiscoSecure user database.
About CSDBSync
The CSDBSync service uses an ODBC system data source name (DSN) to access
the accountActions table. See
Figure 9-2 . This service looks specifically for a
table named “accountActions”. Synchronization events fail if CSDBSync cannot
access the accountActions table.
