    Connecting Cisco ISE 3.0 node to Active Directory

    Technology: Network Security
    Area: Access and Identity Management
    Vendor: Cisco
    Software: ISE 3.0
    Platform: ISE Virtual Appliance, ISE Physical Appliance 

     

    Cisco ISE 3.0 AD integration  

    • ISE node must be added to domain as a host (computer) 
    • ISE node needs privileges to read LDAP / AD directory (needed for authentication) 
    • Need to have a user with privileges to add machines to the domain. There are specific cases when the ISE node is added to AD Offline. 
    • Warning: adding ISE manually can lead to a situation where user provided for ISE External Identity Sources does not have to process join operation if there is a fail (after upgrade). 

     

    Step 1 – Add Join Point

    To add the ISE node to Active Directory, navigate to the External Identity Sources menu, select “Active Directory”, and add a new Join Point.
