About User Databases
Cisco Secure ACS authenticates users against one of several possible databases,
including its CiscoSecure user database. Regardless of which database you
configure Cisco Secure ACS to use when authenticating a user, all users have
accounts within the CiscoSecure user database, and authorization of users is
always performed against the user records in the CiscoSecure user database. The
following list details the basic user databases used and provides links to greater
details on each:
• CiscoSecure user database—Authenticates a user from the local
CiscoSecure user database. For more information, see CiscoSecure User
Database, page 13-2.
Tip The following authentication types appear in the HTML interface only when the
corresponding external user database has been configured in the Database
Configuration area of the External User Databases section.
