Cisco ISE with Windows 10/Mac

[VTDARRYL]

Hi ISE experts,

If we're using IBM MaaS360 for mobile device management, I know it can integrate with Cisco ISE for mobile devices.  MaaS360 can also have macOS (OS X) and Windows 10 PC enrolled via MDM.  Essentially like MDM devices too.

Therefore, can Cisco ISE ask MaaS360 (or another MDM) to determine if the device is authorized/compliant and then allow those devices onto the network via ISE?

Thanks!

Please see the ISE design guides under MDM for the documentation on MaaS360

Hi Krishnan,

Thanks for your reply.  Yes, the integration guide mentions Apple iOS 5.0+ or Google Android 2.3.  However recently, Apple and Microsoft now allow macOS and Windows 10 PC to be enrolled and managed like a mobile device (MDM APIs).  So MaaS360 can manage these devices too.

Question is can Cisco ISE support/recognise these PC/Mac devices as well as mobile devices?  Maybe it's yet to be tested alongside MDM (EMM) solutions like MaaS360.

Thanks!

Yes, ISE can check against MDM for PC/Mac as well.  This use case has been proven with multiple MDM/EMM Vendors.
