Overview

Learn how to create and register applications with Cisco ISE to enable data exchange between your deployment and cloud applications.

You can register applications to your product based on your requirements. For example, you can create an app that can retrieve the session and endpoint data from Cisco ISE.

These applications can use the ERS, pxGrid, and OpenAPIs to exchange information with Cisco ISE. Refer to the Cisco pxGrid Cloud API Reference Guide for information on supported APIs.

Share data between Cisco ISE and cloud apps

Share data between your Cisco ISE deployment and a cloud application by completing these tasks:

  1. Onboard an app.

  2. Connect to an app.

  3. Activate an app.
