About the accountActions Table
The accountActions table contains a set of rows that define actions CSDBSync is
to perform in the CiscoSecure user database. Each row in the accountActions
table holds user, user group, or AAA client information. Each row also contains
an action field and several other fields. These fields provide CSDBSync with the
information it needs to update the CiscoSecure user database. For full details of
the accountActions table format and available actions, see Appendix F, “RDBMS
Synchronization Import Definitions”.
The database containing the accountActions table must support a multi-threaded
ODBC driver. This is required to prevent problems if Cisco Secure ACS and the
third-party system attempt to access the accountActions table simultaneously.
Cisco Secure ACS includes files to help you create your accountActions table for
several common formats. You can find these files on the Cisco Secure ACS in the
following location, assuming a default installation of Cisco Secure ACS:
C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS vx.x\CSDBSync\Databases
The Databases directory contains the following subdirectories:
• Access—Contains the file CiscoSecure Transactions.mdb.
CiscoSecure Transactions.mdb contains a preconfigured accountActions
table. When you install Cisco Secure ACS, the installation routine creates a
system DSN named CiscoSecure DBSync. This system DSN is configured to
communicate with
CiscoSecure Transactions.mdb.
Note By default, the username and password for the CiscoSecure
Transactions.mdb
database are set to null. To increase the security
of RDBMS synchronizations performed using this database, change
the username and password, both in the
CiscoSecure
Transactions.mdb
database and in Cisco Secure ACS. Any other
processes that access the
CiscoSecure Transactions.mdb database
should be changed to use the new username and password, too.
• CSV—Contains the files accountactions and schema.ini.
The
accountactions file is the accountActions table in a comma-separated
value file. The
schema.ini file provides the Microsoft ODBC text file driver
with the information it needs to access the accountactions file.
