To prepare for authenticating with an ODBC-compliant relational database, 
follow these steps:

Install the database software on its server. For more information, refer to the 
relational database documentation.

Create the database to hold the usernames and passwords. The database name is 
irrelevant to Cisco Secure ACS, so you can name the database however you like.

Create the table or tables that will hold the usernames and passwords for your 
users. The table names are irrelevant to Cisco Secure ACS, so you can name the 
tables and columns however you like.

Write the stored procedures intended to return the required authentication 
information to Cisco Secure ACS. For more information about these stored 
procedures, see the 

.

Set up a system DSN on the Cisco Secure ACS server. For steps, see the 

Configure Cisco Secure ACS to authenticate users with an ODBC database. For 
steps, see the 

.

When you configure Cisco Secure ACS to authenticate users against an 
ODBC-compliant relational database, you must create a stored procedure to 
perform the necessary query and return the values that Cisco Secure ACS expects. 
Cisco Secure ACS supports ODBC authentication for PAP or 
CHAP/MS-CHAP/ARAP protocols; however, the method of authentication 
differs for these two sets of protocols.

Authentication for PAP protocol occurs within the relational database; that is, if 
the stored procedure finds a record with both the username and the password 
matching the input, the user is considered authenticated.
