Overview

Learn how to activate an app in the Integration Catalog by selecting the app, configuring instances and data scopes, and completing the activation process.

You can integrate and activate a pxGrid Cloud app using the Integration Catalog (Administration > Integration Catalog > Available Integrations). The data scopes selected during the activation of an app are also activated in the configured policy. Refer to Configure a Cisco pxGrid Cloud policy for more information on configuring a policy.

To view and enable new scopes available for an app, disconnect the app after deactivation. When you reactivate the app, all the new scopes are displayed. You cannot edit the chosen data scopes after app activation. To make necessary changes, deactivate the app, make the required changes, and then reactivate the app.

When integrating an app using the Integration Catalog, you may see the option to integrate an application using an existing instance or a new instance. This option of selecting an existing instance or a new instance is only applicable for multi-instance applications. In multi-instance apps, you can connect multiple Cisco ISE deployments (within a region) to an existing instance or you can create a new instance for app integration. Single-instance apps always use the same instance.

Procedure

1.

Click your specific app tile on the Integration Catalog page to choose it for activation.

The App Configuration window displays the activation status as Activated.
2.

In the Instance section, click the Existing instances radio button to use an existing instance of an app, if applicable.

3.

From the Existing instances drop-down list, choose the required instance.

4.

(Optional) To create a new instance, click the New instance radio button (Integration Catalog > App Configuration > Instance).

5.

In the Data Scope section, choose the scopes for your app configuration. You must choose at least one data scope. The scope options available for configuration depend on your specific app.

  • Adaptive Network Control (ANC) Configuration: Provides ANC configuration details such as policy name, action type, status, and MAC address.

  • Echo Service: Provides a way for the app to check the health of the integration.

  • ISE Managed Endpoints: Provides details of endpoints and probe data attributes of selected probes connected to Cisco ISE.

  • Mobile Device Management (MDM): Provides endpoint details including model, manufacturer, type, compliance, and MAC address.

  • Profiler Configuration: Provides Cisco ISE profiling policy device details such as ID and name.

  • RADIUS Authentication Failures: Provides RADIUS protocol failure details such as failure reason, username, NAS NAD details, authentication details, framed IP address attributes, MAC address, and calling station ID.
