The Microsoft ODBC CSV driver can now access the accountActions CSV file
properly.

Configuring a System Data Source Name for RDBMS
Synchronization

On the Cisco Secure ACS, a system DSN must exist for Cisco Secure ACS to
access the accountActions table. If you plan to use the

CiscoSecure Transactions.mdb

Microsoft Access database provided with

Cisco Secure ACS, you can use the

CiscoSecure DBSync

system DSN rather than

create one.

For more information about the

CiscoSecure Transactions.mdb

file, see

To create a system DSN for use with RDBMS synchronization, follow these steps:

Step 1

From Windows Control Panel, open the ODBC Data Source Administrator
window.

Tip

In Windows 2000, the ODBC Data Sources icon is located in the
Administrative Tools folder.

Step 2

In the ODBC Data Source Administrator window, click the System DSN tab.

Step 3

Click Add.

Step 4

Select the driver you need to use with your new DSN, and then click Finish.

A dialog box displays fields requiring information specific to the ODBC driver
you selected.

Step 5

In the Data Source Name box, type a descriptive name for the DSN.
