ISE Automation - GUI and CLI Password Policy

dal — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 11:56:54 GMT

Is it possible to change the GUI and CLI Password Policy in Administration -> Admin Access using Ansible or API?

I can't seem to find it
What I want to do is change or disable the password lifetime

I tried to circumvent the whole thing by attempting to create a script that runs via SSH (before the current password expires) and issues the commands:

username admin password plain {{ new_admin_password }} role admin
and then
application reset-passwd ise admin

But application reset-passwd ise admin is an interactive command, and I'm too stupid to get that to work automatically

Anyone automated this?

And also, why isn't is possible to create admin users via ansible / api?

ISE doesn't have an API for everything. Posture is a notable example. https://cs.co/ise-berg#api

So that's a no to my question then.

So much for automating ISE
