Configuring a Generic LDAP External User Database
Creating a generic LDAP configuration provides Cisco Secure ACS information
that enables it to pass authentication requests to an LDAP database. This
information reflects the way you have implemented your LDAP database and does
not dictate how your LDAP database is configured or functions. For information
about your LDAP database, refer to your LDAP documentation.
Before You Begin
For information about the options on the LDAP Database Configuration page, see
LDAP Configuration Options, page 11-22
.
To configure Cisco Secure ACS to use the LDAP User Database, follow these
steps:
Step 1
In the navigation bar, click External User Databases.
Step 2
Click Database Configuration.
Result: Cisco Secure ACS displays a list of all possible external user database
types.

Click Generic LDAP.
Note
The user authenticates against only one LDAP database.

Configuration Creation table appears. Otherwise, in addition to the Database
Configuration Creation table, the External User Database Configuration table
appears.
Step 4
If you are creating a configuration, follow these steps:
a.
Click Create New Configuration.
b.
Type a name for the new configuration for generic LDAP in the box provided.

Click Submit.
Result: Cisco Secure ACS lists the new configuration in the External User
Database Configuration table.
