Cisco Cisco Configuration Engine 3.5 Entwickleranleitung

There are two modes in which the Cisco Configuration Engine can operate, the Internal Directory Mode 
and the External Directory Mode. Users who do not have a directory of their own can use the Cisco 
Configuration Engine in Internal Directory Mode. Users who have a directory of their own and wish to 
have more control of data, can use the External Directory Mode, in which the data store for the Cisco 
Configuration Engine will be the user-specified Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service.

Before using the Cisco Configuration Engine SDK to configure devices, the user must create 
corresponding device objects in the Cisco Configuration Engine data store, which could be an internal 
or external directory. The LDAP directory is used in the following circumstances (and if any of these are 
true, the device objects must be created in the LDAP directory store, using Config Engine GUI, or the 
bulk upload facility):

If the Configuration Engine event agent in the device connects to the event gateway using encrypted 
connections

If the Configuration Engine config agent accesses the Configuration Engine Config Server using 
HTTP or HTTPS
