RDBMS Synchronization ACS Database Recovery Using the accountActions Table 8-30 The RDBMS Synchronization feature, in effect, produces a transaction queue: User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control Server 4.2 Chapter 8 System Configuration: Advanced (ACS for Windows) The RDBMS Synchronization feature deletes each record in the accountActions table after processing the record; therefore, the accountActions table can be considered a transaction queue. (ACS SE) Combining all instances of accountActions files in the order that the RDBMS Synchronization produces processes them, in effect, a transaction queue. The RDBMS Synchronization feature does not maintain a transaction log, or audit, trail. If a log is required, the external system that adds records to the accountActions table must create it. Unless the external system can recreate the entire transaction history in the accountActions table, we recommend that you construct a transaction log file for recovery purposes. To do this: ACS for Windows Create a second table that is stored in a safe location and backed up regularly. In that second table, mirror all the additions and updates to records in the accountActions table. ACS SE Create a transaction log file that is stored in a safe location and backed up on a regular basis. In that second file, mirror all the additions and updates to records in the accountActions file. The transaction log file would therefore be a concatenation of all actions recorded in the many instances of the accountActions file processed by RDBMS Synchronization. If the database is large, it is not practical to replay all transaction logs to synchronize the ACS internal database with the third-party system. Instead, you should create regular backups of the ACS internal database and replay the transaction logs from the time of most recent backup to resynchronize the ACS internal database with the third-party system. For information on creating backup files, see Appendix E, “RDBMS Synchronization Import Definitions.” Replaying transaction logs that slightly predate the checkpoint does not damage the ACS internal database, although some transactions might be invalid and reported as errors. As long as the entire transaction log is replayed, the ACS internal database is consistent with the database of the external RDBMS application. Reports and Event (Error) Handling The CSDBSync service provides event and error logging. For more information about the RDBMS Synchronization log, see ACS Audit Logs, page 10-5. For more information about the CSDBSync service log, see Service Logs, page 10-12. During manual synchronizations, ACS provides visual alerts to notify you of problems that occurred during synchronization. Preparing to Use RDBMS Synchronization Synchronizing the ACS internal database by using data from the accountActions table requires that you complete several steps that are external to ACS before you configure the RDBMS Synchronization feature within ACS. If you are planning to use a CSV file as your accountActions table, also see Configuring a System DSN for RDBMS Synchronization (ACS for Windows), page 8-32. OL-14386-02
Chapter 8 System Configuration: Advanced OL-14386-02 Note The schema.ini file must be located in the same folder as the accountactions.csv file. To prepare to use RDBMS Synchronization: Step 1 Determine the following: RDBMS Synchronization ACS for Windows Where you want to create the accountActions table and in what format. For more information about the accountActions table, see About the accountActions Table (ACS for Windows), page 8-28. ACS SE How to create the accountActions file. For more information about the accountActions file, see About the accountActions File (ACS SE), page 8-29. The FTP server that you want to use to make the accountActions file accessible to ACS. For details on the format and content of the accountActions table, see Appendix E, “RDBMS Synchronization Import Definitions.” Step 2 Create your accountActions table. Step 3 Configure your third-party system to generate records and update the accountActions table with them. This effort will most likely involve creating stored procedures that write to the accountActions table at a triggered event; however, the mechanism for maintaining your accountActions table is unique to your implementation. If the third-party system that you are using to update the accountActions table is a commercial product, for assistance, refer to the documentation from your third-party system vendor. Step 4 (ACS SE) If needed, configure the mechanism that is to copy the accountActions file from where it is generated to the applicable directory on the FTP server. Step 5 Validate that your third-party system updates the accountActions table properly. Rows that are generated in the accountActions table must be valid. Note After testing that the third-party system updates the accountActions table properly, discontinue updating the accountActions table until after you have completed Step 7 and Step 8. Step 6 If you have a distributed AAA environment and want to synchronize multiple ACSs: a. Determine which ACS you want to use to communicate with the third-party system. This ACS is the senior synchronization partner, which you will later configure to send synchronization data to its synchronization partners, which are the other ACSs needing synchronization. b. On the senior synchronization partner, verify that there is a AAA server configuration for each synchronization partner. Add a AAA server configuration for each missing synchronization partner. For detailed steps about adding a AAA server, see Adding AAA Servers, page 3-17. c. On all the other synchronization partners, verify that a AAA server configuration exists for the senior synchronization partner. If no AAA server configuration for the senior synchronization partner exists, create one. For detailed steps about adding a AAA server, see Adding AAA Servers, page 3-17. Synchronization between the senior synchronization partner and the other synchronization partners is enabled. User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control Server 4.2 8-31
