ISE Sponsored Guest Accounts List via a report

Scott Gillies — Sun, 01 Sep 2019 12:48:05 GMT

Is it not possible to get a list/report of all sponsor created guest accounts from ISE?

I don't want passwords just a list that includes usefull info like account expiration date.

I can't imagine that this is not useful for companies auditing purposes.

I note there are some ideas around enabling a REST API etc. but this requires programming knowledge etc. and also ensuring that certain port numbers are accessible on the ISE Admin IP Address and is certainly not for the faint hearted.

Surely not beyound the capabilities of the ISE team to provide such a simple report.

Hi Scott,

We have an enhancement filed for this request:
ENH: Export Guest Accounts Configured in ISE
CSCty82007

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCty82007/?reffering_site=dumpcr

REST API is a request and response method that doesn't necessarily require advanced programming skills.

Here is a post that might be helpful:

P.S. Please rate helpful posts.

Thanks. After adding some corrections etc. I now have a Python script that obtains all the Guest data into a CSV file.

The only issue is that you have to ensure you can access port 9060 via https so if you have firewalls etc. then ensure they allow the traffic.

Thanks every one.
