Prior to anything, make sure the WSA has basic configs (IP address, licensing, etc).

For ISE, navigate to Administration>System>Certificates>Trusted Certificates and make sure the Root CA certificate is uploaded and that it’s Trusted for Client Authentication and authentication within ISE:

Navigate to Administration>System>Certificates>Certificate Signing Requests and click Generate Certificate Signing Requests (CSR). Create a Multi-Use certificate for your ISE node and once created, export it. Open it with Notepad, copy the CSR and open your AD Certificate Services page. Click on Request a certificate>advanced certificate requests, paste the CSR in the Base-64-encoded request and choose pxGrid ads the certificate template before clicking Submit. On the next page, download the certificate as Base-64 encoded.

Go back to Administration>System>Certificates>Certificate Signing Requests, check the box next to the CSR and bind the certificate and specify that the certificate will be at least used for pxGrid.

Navigate to Administration>System>Certificates>System Certificates and make sure your bond certificate is there with the pxGrid usage:

Could this be any more detailed?  I don't think so.  Thanks Katherine!

Hi,

I am currently researching about this topic. As far as i understand once you complete the pxgrid communication, you prepare authorization rules like "pxGrid_Users:ExternalGroups: EQUALS lab6.com/Users/Domain Users then Engineering and Permit Access" i found this on a 1.4 document.

I wonder if in ISE 2.1 this has changed and we make this AD / ISE group mapping somewhere else?

It kind of feels strange to write down authorization rules (because for me its just for AD group - network policy assignment.)

Hope i made myself clear.

Kind regards

Sadik

Hi All,

I just need to know if is possible to do this with Base license and only one Plus license (to enable pxGrid node) or need buy 1:1 license Base and Plus?

The documentation of Cisco ISE demonstrate integration with Stealthwatch, FMC, InfoBlox, Blue Coat, etc but not have information about WSA and when have a little information about this is very confused.

What license do I need to integrate ISE 2.2 (or 2.3) with WSA?

Regards,

Marcelo Kiraly
