Cisco CiscoSecure ACS for UNIX Upgrade to v2.3 CSU-2.3-UG Manual De Usuario

If you intend to use a Sybase Enterprise database with CiscoSecure ACS, make sure the Sybase
Enterprise SQL server meets the following requirements.

Before you install CiscoSecure:

SQL server should be version 11.0.2 or higher. The SQL server could be on a local or a remote
system. At the time of CiscoSecure ACS installation, the SQL server should be running.

Sybase Open Client/C version 11.1 or higher should be installed and configured on the system where
CiscoSecure ACS is installed. This includes proper configuration of the $SYBASE/interfaces file.

Prior to the CiscoSecure installation, set up an SQL server login account that CiscoSecure can use
to connect to the SQL server.

Additionally, Cisco recommends that the customer create a separate database for CiscoSecure ACS
and create a database login account as the owner of the database. The size of the database depends
on the user/group profiles and accounting data expected.

CiscoSecure installation will prompt for the following information related to Sybase:

Sybase install directory

SQL server name—Name of SQL server defined in the $SYBASE/interfaces file

Database user account and password

Database to use with CiscoSecure ACS

Number of database connections that CiscoSecure ACS can use

If you want to set up database replication among multiple CiscoSecure ACS sites, assign your Sybase
database administrator (DBA) to do so after CiscoSecure installation is complete. See the
CiscoSecure ACS 2.3 for UNIX User Guide chapter “Setting up Database Replication among
CiscoSecure ACSes.” for details.

Database replication setup requires database administrator (DBA) expertise. If you do not possess DBA
experience, assign this task to someone who does.

If you are installing and supporting the per user, per group, and per VPDN session limitation features of
the CiscoSecure ACS 2.3 for UNIX with DSM package, you must configure your Sybase databases for
database replication.
