ACS RDBMS Synchronization

[ben.lancaster]

I have been reviewing the ACS 4.0 documentation and want to know if there are any options available for synchronizing the DB using ODBC on the Solution Engine. Looking for something other than FTP, if available.

The Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine does not support ODBC external database for any function - RDBMS Sync, authentication or logging.

Like Jeff said - not supported.

The reason is because ODBC can require a 3rd party driver and the appliance is "hard".

Although common ones could be loaded, there tends to be regular security vulnerabilities (esp in jet) that would require constant patching/updating.

Of course you can still manage DBSync in your own DB, you just need to export to csv to get it actioned.
