RDBMS Synchronization
You can configure synchronization to occur on a regular schedule. You can also 
perform synchronizations manually, updating the CiscoSecure user database on 
demand.
Synchronization performed by a single Cisco Secure ACS server can update the 
internal databases of other Cisco Secure ACS servers, so that you only need 
configure RDBMS Synchronization on one Cisco Secure ACS server. 
Communication between Cisco Secure ACS servers for the purposes of RDBMS 
Synchronization occurs using an encrypted, Cisco-proprietary protocol.
RDBMS Synchronization Components
The RDBMS Synchronization feature comprises two components:
CSDBSync—A dedicated Windows NT/2000 Service that performs 
automated user and group account management services for 
Cisco Secure ACS
accountActions Table—The data object that holds information used by 
CSDBSync to update the CiscoSecure user database
About CSDBSync
The CSDBSync service uses an ODBC system data source name (DSN) to access 
the accountActions table. Se
. It looks specifically for a 
table named “accountActions”. Synchronization events fail if CSDBSync cannot 
access the accountActions table.
