User Databases
Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server authenticates users against one of several
possible databases, including its internal database. You can configure
Cisco Secure ACS to authenticate users with more than one type of database. This
flexibility enables you to use user accounts data collected in different locations
without having to explicitly import the users from each external user database into
the CiscoSecure user database. It also enables you to apply different databases to
different types of users, depending on the security requirements associated with
user authorizations on your network. For example, a common configuration is to
use a Windows user database for standard network users and a token server for
network administrators.
