Cisco Identity Service Engine SMS notifications – integration manual

Here we describe how to setup Cisco ISE with SMSEagle for SMS notifications.

SMSEagle is an offline hardware SMS gateway. Therefore no external connection to 3rd party system is required. All notifications are generated on-premise and sent directly to a cellular network. This solution can be used in secure installations without Internet access.

SMSEagle Setup

Cisco ISE uses HTTP API requests (see details: API).

All you have to do at SMSEagle is to create new user for API access at webGUI.

Cisco ISE Setup

All configuration related to SMS Gateway settings messages is done from the System -> Settings -> SMS Gateway page.

SMS Gateway Provider page will be displayed.

Select:

  • SMS HTTP API

and in the URL field paste our API request:

http://SMSEagle_IP/index.php/http_api/send_sms?login=john&pass=doe&to=$mobilenumber$&message=$message$

where SMSEagle_IP is gateway’s IP address and  login and pass are username and password for SMSEagle user you just created.

Some important notes:

  • The username and password to the SMSEagle must be included in this link (unfortunately, clear text is used).
  • The mobile number is taken automatically from the Phone number field during the guest creation exercise from the Sponsor portal.
  • The message field is filled automatically from this location: Sponsor portal > Portal Page Customization > Notify Guests > SMS notification > Message text.
