Install ISE 2.4 Eval

[Jim Blake]

I'm doing something particularly stupid, but I can't see what it is....I was provided with a copy of the ISE 2.4 Eval: ISE-2.4.0.357-6.5OVA-Eval, which I have been asked to install for a demo on vmWare 6.0. The Host is supporting other Guests OK, so I believe there is nothing wrong there, and on deploying the ISE OVA, it completes OK. I can go to CLI or browser (Firefox or Chrome) and log in. So far, so good. The version and status show correctly in the CLI

One of the first things I want to do is set the Certificate and AD configuration up.

During attempts to get the certificates loaded, I go to Administration>Certificates, but when I look at the nav bar on the left, each of the selections have a "locked" symbol next to them when I hover the cursor over them, so I can go no further. If I try to do the AD config, I go to Administration>External Identity Sources>Active Directory and get the page where I should be able to add the AD, but on clicking "add", I get no response. Once again, I can go no further

Has anyone any clues as to what stupidity I'm committing? I've done this before (not with the eval, admittedly) and had no problems, but it was a while ago, I've forgotten a vital step, I think

Thanks for any suggestions

Jim

Hi @Jim Blake 

I have to admit that I have not used the Eval OVA - so perhaps there is something quirky at play. As a rule I don't use OVA's for ISE installs because of all the hassles in the past trying to ingest this files into vSphere 6.  I always build from the .ISO and then I know it's done right.

I don't suppose you have created any additional Admin user accounts, or are you using the same "admin" user that you created during the CLI wizard?  If so, then that should give you super-admin rights.  If not, then I don't know what's going on.

Hi Arne,

I'm using the same admin user as created at install time, so I think I have superuser capabilities.

I can get hold of 2.2 ISO, and I think you have a valid point, the Eval seems a bit munged, so I might just go back to (very) first principles...Thanks for the response, anyway
