ACS authentication with external database

[jackson.ku]

Dear Sir,

1. If ACS local database not found, ACS will attempted to authenticated with external database ( if configured ), and then created that user in ACS local database if authenticated succcess. Can we disable the auto create user function?

2. If user changed password in external database, can the ACS sync password with external database automatically or ACS always check the password to external database?

Best Regards,

1) check out ACS v4.0. Pretty sure it doesnt switch off auto account creation, but... does have options for purging stale accounts.

2) ACS always uses the external database.... with one exception. Say you configure something that resulted in an MSCHAP authentication for an RSA token user. If the external DB doesnt support the required protocol ACS will revert to using the internal DB.
