Cisco ISE ERS Guest API Changng Mandatory Fields

Christopher Hobbs — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 23:40:25 GMT

Hi,

Is it possible to make the following ISE fields not mandatory for creating ISE guest portal accounts through the REST API (https://x.x.x.x:9060/ers/config/guestuser). If so how?

portalId
guestType
location

The ISE 2.3 ERS SDK API Documentation shows that they are not required, however my testing indicates that they are.

Error from POSTMAN with json

"title": "Validation Error - Mandatory fields missing: [portalId, guestType, location]",

Reference: https://x.x.x.x:9060/ers/sdk#Create

I can’t see how the portalid can be made optional as it’s required to associate settings notifications and other info, the same goes for the guest type

My thoughts are that The location shouldn’t be required if you’re using from first login as location is used for time zones but this might not be how its currently designed

I see some defects possible here and will research it

Thanks Jason

Do you know if it is possible to pass some of the fields (eg. portalId) in the api url instead of in the post body? That could be another way around this.

Also, would you happen to know if these new mandatory fields since 2.0, as the third-party vendor (PassagePoint) says this was previously working without those three fields in 2.0. My testing is with ISE 2.3.

Thanks

Chris

I Spoke to our sme and he said it’s a documentation bug as these are required, please have one opened

i can see where the location might not be critical for from first login and this could be another defect

the other question is still outstanding

I just asked our SME radmedur on the API to respond. He is going to have the SDK for the mandatory fields corrected.

Can you please explain further your issues.

Jason – did you confirm that all three fields are mandatory (portalId, location, guestType)?

Re: Cisco ISE ERS Guest API Changng Mandatory Fields

Jason Kunst — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 16:10:31 GMT

Yes they are required. If you’re using fromfirstlogin guest type however I can see where a location shouldn’t be required. Please open a defect with the TAC on that one. They can also open a defect for the SDK docs being wrong
