    Set up Aruba WLAN Controllers for Integration

    Set up Aruba WLAN controllers for integration with Device Security through Cortex XSOAR.
    Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
    • Device Security (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
    • (Legacy) IoT Security (Standalone portal)
    One of the following subscriptions:
    • Device Security subscription for an advanced Device Security product (Enterprise Plus, Industrial OT, or Medical)
    • Device Security X subscription
    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
    When a Cortex XSOAR engine connects to an Aruba WLAN controller, it must authenticate itself by presenting a valid username and password belonging to a management user account with read-only privileges. It can either use an existing user account or one that you can create specifically for it.
    1. Create a management user with read-only privileges.
      1. Log in to the UI for one of the Aruba WLAN controllers with a user account that has privileges for creating new users and then click ConfigurationSystemAdmin.
      2. In the Management User section, make sure Enable local authentication is toggled on and then click + in the Management Users table.
      3. Enter a username and password for the XSOAR engine to use when connecting to the controller, choose read-only for the role, and then click Submit.
        The new user appears in the Management Users table.
    2. Click the Pending Changes icon that appears in the upper right corner of the UI.
    3. Record the username and password for reference when configuring the integration instance in Cortex XSOAR.
