XML Template for REST API bulk adding endpoints with custom attributes

[jason.w1]

I've been able to successfully add endpoints in bulk using the PUT endpoint/bulk/submit API call, but I'm having issues finding an XML template that outlines how to add custom attributes. Can anyone assist? This is what I'm using now.

Thanks

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns4:endpointBulkRequest operationType="create" resourceMediaType="vnd.com.cisco.ise.identity.endpoint.1.0+xml" xmlns:ns4="identity.ers.ise.cisco.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<ns4:resourcesList>
  <ns4:endpoint>
  <groupId>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</groupId>
  <mac>00:00:00:00:00:AA</mac>
  <staticGroupAssignment>true</staticGroupAssignment>
  <staticProfileAssignment>false</staticProfileAssignment>
 </ns4:endpoint>
  <ns4:endpoint>
  <groupId>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</groupId>
  <mac>00:00:00:00:00:BB</mac>
  <staticGroupAssignment>true</staticGroupAssignment>
  <staticProfileAssignment>false</staticProfileAssignment>
 </ns4:endpoint>
</ns4:resourcesList>
</ns4:endpointBulkRequest>

You must first define your custom attributes in the ISE GUI - you cannot add/create them via API.

This is shown in ISE ERS API Examples :

• Create an Endpoint with Custom Attributes
• Define ISE Endpoint Custom Attributes
• Create an Endpoint with Custom Attributes

Once you have done that, I recommend doing a GET on an endpoint with custom attributes to see the format and you can use that for your adding/updating your existing endpoints.

ISE APIs are publicly documented @ https://cs.co/ise-api including the one for endpoint.  Note that if you open up the POST configuration it provides an example body and by changing the Parameter content type to application/xml it will show you a complete example including custom attributes:

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the help, I should have been a little more verbose in my question. I have been able to create single endpoints with custom attributes using json, the attributes already exist in ISE. It's the XML for the bulk call that was tripping me up. I think I see how to get it working in the screenshot you shared, but my other question is, I'm not able to load the swagger UI. I've tried both https://{ise-ip}/api/swagger-ui/index.html and also with port 9060, without the port, it just takes me to the admin login, with the port, I get an error that the page cannot be found. Any advice?
