Deploying an Identity Aware Network

Extreme Networks Application Note
5.2.1. Retrieving Identity Entries from ExtremeXOS Based Switches
In this section, we will explore the method by which an application can poll (if required periodically) an ExtremeXOS
based switch for retrieving identities tracked in the network. The edge switch will act as a server. We will use a tool called
soapUI, which, amongst a host of other features provides a very easy method to inspect and test WSDL based Web services.
The procedures and description in this section is intended to provide an overview of how to establish a SOAP/XML session
with an ExtremeXOS switch and retrieve information.
5.2.1.1. soapUI Installation and Initial Setup
Information about soapUI is available at http://www.soapui.org. Please refer to the download instructions provided on the
Web site.
NOTES
• This case study uses soapUI Version 3.5
• It is recommended to have a copy of the ExtremeXOS InSite SDK in the host on which soapUI is planned to be installed. This case
study uses the ExtremeXOS InSite SDK Release 12.4.1.7 (available at http://www.extremenetworks.com/solutions/Insite.aspx).
The rest of this section will explain the steps to install soapUI on a host. Open the soapUI installer program and follow the
steps given after each screen shot to complete the installation process.
