Although page 6 through 10 of the PDF already provides sufficient info to help integrate AirWatch with ISE, I couldn’t help but read the entire document with pleasure. To my surprise, I actually quite enjoy reading the original PDF even though it was pretty out-dated with the screenshots and settings that pertain to AirWatch. In fact, there have been several releases of ISE per the link below. I suppose similar to VMware Workspace ONE documentation, the online version is easier to maintain and thus should be the go-to source first. Perhaps as the Cisco employee pointed out, there really hasn’t been many changes with the workflow since it was released. Like many others, I attempted to search for a more up-to-date version without any success.

Integrating AirWatch with Cisco Identity Services Engine While ISE has been around for quite some time, so far the only good known PDF is the one below which was last revised on August 6, 2013: For this particular post, I will share my experience with integrating AirWatch with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). The steps one will take mostly depend on your wireless equipment. While using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution helps ensure both data and device integrity, additional steps taken at the network layer can further enhance the overall security for utmost protection without inconveniencing the users. Some organizations may also allow devices access to internal resources over a specific Wi-Fi network. As anyone would have guessed, enabling cellular service on every mobile device remains a lofty goal mainly due to the cost involved.

Wi-Fi access has long been a basic necessity and the major driving force in mobile technology in the 21st century. Updated on 06/04/20 with a reminder to renew the AirWatch certificate in the Cisco ISE portal. Updated on 06/16/20 with additional information on impact from a randomized MAC address with Android 10. Updated on 04/28/21 with additional reference links on randomized MAC address with Android devices.
