Cisco Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud 4.2 User Guide

The dropbox location must be shared between the Cisco Cloud Portal (CP) and the Tidal Enterprise 
Orchestrator (TEO) servers. While there are several ways to configure this, whether using directory 
integration or not and whether the dropbox location is local to or remote from the CP and PO servers, 
the nsAPI user account in CP and the Runtime User account in TEO must have read / write access to the 
dropbox.

Recommendation: The nsAPI user account in CP and Runtime User account in TEO should be the same.

Linux users: Configure the extended properties Cloud.Configuration.CloudPortal.IsUnix and 
Cloud.Configuration.CloudPortal.UnixTarget. If you have not yet completed the tasks involved, see

Create a dropbox that Cloud Portal and Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator (TEO) will use to exchange 
information.

Create the dropbox folder:

Windows: Create a folder called c:\dropbox on the Cloud Portal server, then share it with TEO.

Linux: Create a folder called C:\dropbox on the Cloud Portal server. TEO will access the dropbox 
for data synchronization via SFTP.

Ensure the dropbox folder is read/write accessible for everyone.

In the dropbox folder, create three subfolders using the following suggested names:
