RDBMS Synchronization
• Password—Specifies the password Cisco Secure ACS uses to access the
database that contains the accountActions table.
Synchronization Scheduling Options
The Synchronization Scheduling table defines when synchronization occurs. It
contains the following scheduling options:
• Manually—Cisco Secure ACS does not perform automatic RDBMS
synchronization.
• Every X minutes—Cisco Secure ACS performs synchronization on a set
frequency. The unit of measurement is minutes, with a default update
frequency of 60 minutes.
• At specific times...—Cisco Secure ACS performs synchronization at the time
specified in the day and hour graph. The minimum interval is one hour, and
the synchronization takes place on the hour selected.
Synchronization Partners Options
The Synchronization Partners table defines which Cisco Secure ACSes are
synchronized with data from the accountActions table. It provides the following
options:
• AAA Server—This list represents the AAA servers configured in the AAA
Servers table in Network Configuration for which the Cisco Secure ACS does
not perform RDBMS synchronization.
• Synchronize—This list represents the AAA servers configured in the AAA
Servers table in Network Configuration for which the Cisco Secure ACS does
perform RDBMS synchronization. The AAA servers on this list are the
synchronization partners of this Cisco Secure ACS. During synchronization,
communication between this Cisco Secure ACS and its synchronization
partners is 128-bit encrypted with a Cisco-proprietary protocol. The
synchronization partners receive synchronization data on TCP port 2000.
Note Each synchronization partner must have a AAA server configuration
in its Network Configuration section that corresponds to this
Cisco Secure ACS; otherwise, the synchronization commands this
Cisco Secure ACS sends to it are ignored.
