# Set up Cisco Meraki connector

> C1 provides identity governance for Cisco Meraki. Integrate your Cisco Meraki instance with C1 for unified visibility and governance over user access.

## Capabilities

| Resource     | Sync                                                          | Provision |

| Role         | <Icon icon="square-check" iconType="solid" color="#c937ae" /> |           |

**Additional functionality:**

*None.*

## Gather Cisco Meraki configuration information

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in information from Cisco Meraki. Gather these configuration details before you move on.

Here's the information you'll need:

* API Key

See the Cisco Meraki docs for information on how to acquire credentials: [View the documentation](https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Other_Topics/Cisco_Meraki_Dashboard_API)

## Configure the Cisco Meraki connector

<Warning>
  To complete this task, you'll need:

  * The **Connector Administrator** or **Super Administrator** role in C1
  * Access to the set of Cisco Meraki configuration information gathered by following the instructions above
</Warning>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cloud-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.**

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** and click **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **Cisco Meraki** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new Cisco Meraki connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)
        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Find the **Settings** area of the page and click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Enter the configuration information from the previous section.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Save**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        The connector's label changes to **Syncing**, followed by **Connected**. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your Cisco Meraki connector is now pulling access data into C1.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Self-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use the Cisco Meraki connector, hosted and run in your own environment.**

    When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

    [Contact C1's support team](mailto:support@c1.ai) to download the latest version of the connector.

    ### Step 1: Set up a new Cisco Meraki connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** > **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **Baton** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new Cisco Meraki connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)
        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        In the **Settings** area of the page, click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Rotate** to generate a new Client ID and Secret.

        Carefully copy and save these credentials. We'll use them in Step 2.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ### Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

    Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Cisco Meraki connector deployment:

    #### Secrets configuration

    ```yaml expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-cisco-meraki-secrets.yaml
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: baton-cisco-meraki-secrets
    type: Opaque
    stringData:
      # C1 credentials
      BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
      BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>

      # Cisco Meraki config
      BATON_MERAKI_API_KEY: <Meraki API Key>
    ```

    See the connector's README or run `--help` to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

    #### Deployment configuration

    ```yaml expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-cisco-meraki.yaml
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: baton-cisco-meraki
      labels:
        app: baton-cisco-meraki
    spec:
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: baton-cisco-meraki
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: baton-cisco-meraki
            baton: true
            baton-app: cisco-meraki
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: baton-cisco-meraki
            image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-cisco-meraki:latest
            imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
            env:
            - name: BATON_HOST_ID
              value: baton-cisco-meraki
            envFrom:
            - secretRef:
                name: baton-cisco-meraki-secrets
    ```

    ### Step 3: Deploy the connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click **Apps**. On the **Managed apps** tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Cisco Meraki connector to. Cisco Meraki data should be found on the **Entitlements** and **Accounts** tabs.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your Cisco Meraki connector is now pulling access data into C1.
