The system DSN to be used by Cisco Secure ACS for communication with the
relational database is created on the computer running Cisco Secure ACS.
Creating an ODBC database configuration provides Cisco Secure ACS
information that enables it to pass authentication requests to an ODBC-compliant
relational database. This information reflects the way you have implemented your
relational database and does not dictate how your relational database is configured
or functions. For information about your relational database, refer to your
relational documentation.
