Automate ISE with OpenAPIs Python - Simuating RADIUS requests

devnetdan — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 19:55:20 GMT

I'm trying to simulate RADIUS requests to ISE so that I can get endpoint information via the API. Per the instructions, I tried running the Python script with the additional flags. However, I could not locate the .cfg files or the Python script to the run simulated RADIUS requests. I searched the whole /home directory and couldn't find them. Is there some other place I should look for the script and .cfg files? I've attached a screenshot of the instructions I tried following.

,Hi d-wade,

Here are some of my findings after I performed some test on Devnet sandbox('Automate ISE with OpenAPIs Python and Ansible' & 'PxGrid 2.0 on Clustered ISE 3.1'):
1. There are no ise_*.cfg files in Radius Simulator VM/CentOS.
2. There are some other cfg files can be used for testing in '/home/developer/Downloads/pez/cfg/final_cfg
'
3. If you used these cfg files for testing, you need to change share secret on ISE/Network Device/pez_simulator from 'C1sco12345' to 'cisco' to align with cfg files.
4. Tick all the boxes in ISE/Administration/Settings/Security Settings.
5. Set the below environmental variables at the command prompt on CentOS, (You can find this instruction in sandbox 'PxGrid 2.0 on Clustered ISE 3.1'):
export PYTHONPATH=./lib:$PYTHONPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_PRELOAD=./lib/libssl.so.10:./lib/libcrypto.so.10
6. You can use radius simulator in your own lab:

Thank you for the feedback! I'll have to try it out for myself. However, if your instructions are valid, I think it makes sense for the lab instructions to be updated.
