Hello Arun-

Here are the requirements for the ACS AD account:

Enter the username of a predefined AD user. An AD account which is required for the domain access in ACS, should have either of the following:

- Add workstations to the domain user in the corresponding domain.

- Create Computer Objects or Delete Computer Objects permission on corresponding computers container where ACS machine's account is precreated (created before joining ACS machine to the domain).

- Cisco recommends that you disable the lockout policy for the ACS account and configure the AD infrastructure to send alerts to the administrator if a wrong password is used for that account. This is because, if you enter a wrong password, ACS will not create or modify its machine account when it is necessary and therefore possibly deny all authentications.
