This command-line python tool pulls all the guests from an ISE instance and pushes those guests to another ISE server. This is to facilitate large guest populations that must be maintained during an ISE migration where a standard upgrade or backup/restore is not being performed.

This was tested on ISE 2.7, but should work up to ISE 3.0 and back to ISE 2.2 or previous based on API release notes.

The ISE ERS API must be enabled, and a sponsor account must have API access. Please see here for more information.

Should be run using Python 3.6+.

Warning: There is no confirmation or rollback options, use at your own risk.

Clone (or download):

git clone https://github.com/ironbow/ise-guest-migrator.git

Install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt Note: Depending on the system, you may need to specify pip3 for Python3's PIP instance.

Configure:

Edit the config.template.ini to use appropriate values, and rename to config.ini.

Run:

• Run with defaults: python migrate-guests.py
• Run with a sponsor username filter: python migrate-guests.py -f john.doe
• Run with custom config file: python migrate-guests.py -c /path/to/my/config.ini

Note: Depending on the system, you may need to specify python3, python3.7, etc. for Python3.

• If only one sponsor portal is configured on the target system, it will be used to create the guests. If more than one exists, the user will be prompted to select the portal to use.
• If a guest account with the same username already exists (or other conflicts), the guest account will not be migrated. An error will be displayed, but the script will continue.
• The same Guest Type (by name) must exist on the target system for all guest users. Ideally, the guest types should have identical configurations to prevent errors.
• Any errors aside from the username already existing will cause the script to exit.

usage: migrate-guests.py [-h] [-c CONFIG_FILE] [-f FILTER_SPONSOR]

Migrate guest users from one ISE instance to another.

optional arguments:

  -f FILTER_SPONSOR, --filter-sponsor FILTER_SPONSOR
                        Only migrate accounts created by this sponsor username (default: no filter).
