Set up Aruba Central for Integration

Set up Aruba Central for integration with IoT Security through Cortex XSOAR.

Create a user account in Aruba Central with read-only access.

XSOAR uses this account when authenticating to the Aruba Central API.

Send an invitation to someone to become an Aruba Central user with read-only privileges.

It makes sense to invite someone who will configure the Aruba Central integration instance on Cortex XSOAR. The purpose of the user account is to configure XSOAR to use it when accessing the Aruba Central API to retrieve device information. Inviting the person who will configure XSOAR means he or she can use the username and password for the user account in the Aruba Central integration instance configuration.

Invite Users

Enter an email address and choose an HPE GreenLake Role such as Observer.

The user account will not be used to access HPE GreenLake; however, you must assign an HPE GreenLake role first so that once the user account is created and activated, you can assign it the read-only role you created for it when accessing the Aruba Central application.

Hewlett Packard sends an HPE Cloud Signup Invite to the email address.

When the recipient receives the email message, he or she clicks

Accept Invitation

The link opens a webpage where the person can create an HPE account.

The user enters an email address, password, first name, and last name; accepts the HPE terms of use; and then clicks

The user must share the password with you so you can enter it and the user’s email address (as a username) when configuring an Aruba Central integration instance in Cortex XSOAR later.

Hewlett Packard sends a verification email to the email address.

When the recipient receives the email message, he or she clicks
