Setting Up an Oracle Database for CiscoSecure

Note

If you are installing and supporting the per user, per group, and per VPDN session limitation features of
the optional CiscoSecure Distributed Session Manager feature, you must configure your Oracle
databases for database replication.

Oracle software is not bundled with CiscoSecure ACS. Therefore the CiscoSecure installation does not
install or configure the Oracle product, create an Oracle database, or create a database user.

Note

If you intend to set up CiscoSecure with Oracle database replication, Cisco recommends that you read
the PDF document Using CiscoSecure with Oracle’s Distributed Database Feature (filename
csbsdoc.pdf) before you install the Oracle or CiscoSecure software. This document is located in the
$BASEDIR/FastAdmin/docs directory of the CiscoSecure distribution CD-ROM. It provides an
easy-to-understand, start-to-finish, screen-by-screen configuration example of setting up Oracle
database replication to work with CiscoSecure.

Oracle Setup Requirements Prior to CiscoSecure Installation

If you intend to use an Oracle database with CiscoSecure ACS, make sure the Oracle database meets the
following requirements before starting the CiscoSecure installation:

•

Oracle version should be 7.3.2, 7.3.3, 7.3.4 or 8.0.x.

Note

If you intend to support Oracle database replication, Oracle version 7.3.3, 7.3.4, or 8.0x must
be installed. Additionally, Oracle 7.3.3 and 7.3.4 require the Symmetric Replication Option
and Distributed Database Option packages installed to support database replication. Oracle
8.0.x does not require these packages.

•

The following Oracle products should be installed with the Oracle server (minimum):

–

Oracle 7 or Oracle 8 server

–

SQL*Net Version 2 or higher

–

Oracle TCP/IP protocol adapter

•

The following Oracle products should be installed where CiscoSecure ACS will be installed
(minimum):

–

SQL*Net Version 2 or higher—Module on the CiscoSecure server must be from Oracle 7.3.4 or
higher

–

Oracle TCP/IP protocol adapter—Module on the CiscoSecure server must be from Oracle 7.3.4
or higher

Note

To upgrade to the above modules from a lower version, run the Oracle installation program,
select the upgrade option, and select to upgrade the client versions of these modules.

•

Make sure the Oracle server and tnslsnr processes are loaded and running before installing
CiscoSecure ACS.
