Preparing for CSV-Based Synchronization

If you want to use a CSV file for your accountActions table, some additional
configuration is necessary. This is because the Microsoft ODBC CSV driver
cannot access the accountActions table unless the file has a .csv file extension.

To prepare for RDBMS synchronization using a CSV file, follow these steps:

Step 1

Rename the accountactions CSV file installed on the computer running
Cisco Secure ACS to

accountactions.csv

.

Assuming a default installation of Cisco Secure ACS, the accountactions file is at
the following location:

C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v

x

.

x

\CSDBSync\Databases\CSV

Where x.x refers to the version of your Cisco Secure ACS.

Step 2

Edit the Windows Registry:

a.

Access the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco\CiscoAAAv

x

.

x

\CSDBSync

b.

Change the OdbcUpdateTable value from

AccountActions

to

accountactions.csv

.

Note

You cannot perform synchronization using a relational database table
rather than a CSV file when the OdbcUpdateTable value is

accountactions.csv

. To do so, you must change the

OdbcUpdateTable value back to

AccountActions

.

c.

Save your changes to the Registry.

Cisco Secure ACS is configured to perform CSV-based synchronization only,
using a file named accountactions.csv.

Step 3

At a DOS prompt, follow these steps:

a.

Type:

net stop CSDBSync

and then press Enter.

b.
