Prerequisites

Requirements

Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:

- Cisco Secure X

Components Used

This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Problem

The SMC shows an error on SMC Ribbon despite showing a properly configured connection to the Secure X under the Secure X settings (Secure X and SSE)

Solution

Due to the additional privileges needed to utilize the ribbon, API credentials must be regenerated with the expanded scopes selected and applied to the SMC.

Step 1. Navigate to https://visibility.amp.cisco.com/settings/apiClients

Step 2. Log in with the credentials you use to login to CTR/Secure X if prompted

Step 3. Click Generate API Client

Step 4. Enter the required information in the corresponding fields:

Client Name: Any Descriptive Name

Scopes: All Scopes are required

Description: Optional details

Step 5. Click Add New Client

Step 6. Enter the generated Client API ID and Key to the SMC Secure X Settings Page

https://<SMC FQDN>/sw-smc/sw-configuration-ctr

Step 7. Navigate to the SMC Dashboard. The Secure X Dashboard functions as expected.
