One of the following Cortex XSOAR setups:
  • A free, cohosted, limited-featured Cortex XSOAR instance
    AND
    A Cortex XSOAR Engine (on-premises integration)
  • A full-featured Cortex XSOAR server
To connect Cortex XSOAR to Aruba AirWave, Cortex XSOAR needs to present the credentials of a user configured in the Aruba AirWave Management Platform (AMP).
For Device Security and Cortex XSOAR to receive location information through the integration, you must also configure Aruba AirWave VisualRF.
These integration instructions explain how to integrate Device Security and Cortex XSOAR with Aruba AirWave v8.3.0.1. However, you can integrate Device Security and Cortex XSOAR with any Aruba AirWave version that has VisualRF. These integration instructions assume you have already configured your sites, floor plans, and access points (APs) using VisualRF on Aruba AirWave.
  1. Log in to your Aruba AirWave management platform.
    Log in to Aruba AirWave with an account that has administrator privileges. After logging in to the management platform, note the URL. You will need the URL when configuring the Aruba AirWave instance in Cortex XSOAR later.
  2. Create a Read-Only Monitoring & Auditing role to have read permissions for VisualRF.
    1. Click AMP SetupRoles.
    2. Add a new role. Configure the following in the page that appears, and leave the other settings at their default values:
