ACS user authenticating through Windows Database

Hi Guys, I'm currently configuring my lab ACS 4.2 AAA TACACS+ to use Windows Database to authenticate users on a network client device.

Generally the idea will be:

User

Network Device/Client

ACS/TACACS+

Windows LDAP/Database (for authentication)

I am going through a 600 page documentation that is taking me back n forth, does anyone knows a good blog relating to the configuration of this, or resource.

Thanks!

Is the ACS server running on Windows or an Appliance?

It's running on a Windows Server that is also AD/DC, I will setup a user account that is inside windows database, and configure the AAA client to see if it works.

If it's on a DC there shouldn't be too much configuration to use the windows database.
