This section provides information about the RDBMS Synchronization feature, 
including procedures for implementing this feature, both within 
Cisco Secure ACS and the external data source involved. This section contains the 
following topics:

The RDBMS Synchronization feature provides the ability to update the 
CiscoSecure user database with information from an ODBC-compliant data 
source. The ODBC-compliant data source can be the RDBMS database of a 
third-party application. It can also be an intermediate file or database that a 
third-party system updates. Regardless of where the file or database resides, 
Cisco Secure ACS reads the file or database via the ODBC connection. You can 
also regard RDBMS Synchronization as an API—anything you can configure for 
a user, group, or device through the Cisco Secure ACS HTML interface, you can 
alternatively maintain through this feature. RDBMS Synchronization supports 
addition, modification, and deletion for all data items it can access.
