To add a device into Cisco DNA Center with the native API, the POST method and the name attribute are required. The POST method is used to create a new resource on the server, such as a device. The name attribute is used to specify the hostname or IP address of the device to be added. The POST method requires a JSON body that contains the device information, such as the name, type, role, credentials, and other optional parameters. The Cisco DNA Center API documentation provides an example of the JSON body and the response for adding a device1. The Cisco DNA Center Platform User Guide also explains how to use the native API to add devices2.

A network administrator can transparently identify users using Active Directory on the Cisco WSA in two ways:
* Create NTLM or Kerberos authentication realm and enable transparent user identification. This option allows the WSA to use the NTLM or Kerberos protocol to authenticate users without prompting them for credentials. The WSA must join the Active Directory domain and have a valid service principal name (SPN) for this option to work1.
* Deploy a separate Active Directory agent such as Cisco Context Directory Agent (CDA). This option allows the WSA to receive user-to-IP mappings from the CDA, which monitors the Active Directory domain controllers for user logon events. The CDA must be installed on a Windows server and have access to the domain controllers and the WSA2.
The other options are not ways to transparently identify users using Active Directory on the Cisco WSA.
Creating an LDAP authentication realm and disabling transparent user identification will require users to enter their credentials manually. Installing the eDirectory client on each client workstation or deploying a separate eDirectory server are not related to Active Directory, but to Novell eDirectory, which is a different directory service3.

ETHOS is one of the many detection engines that AMP uses to continuously protect you from malware. It is only available in the public cloud, as it requires a large amount of data and processing power to operate.
ETHOS uses machine learning to analyze the behavior and characteristics of files and determine their maliciousness. It can detect both known and unknown threats, as well as polymorphic and metamorphic malware that can change their appearance or code. ETHOS is part of the AMP cloud's dynamic analysis capabilities, which also include SPERO and Threat Grid12.
The private cloud instance of AMP does not have ETHOS, as it is meant to be an on-premises, self-contained solution that satisfies stringent privacy requirements. The private cloud instance also does not have SPERO or Threat Grid, unless they are deployed separately as additional appliances. The private cloud instance relies on the TETRA detection engine, which is a signature-based engine that can identify known malware. TETRA is updated regularly with new signatures from the AMP cloud, but it cannot detect unknown or zero-day threats as effectively as ETHOS34.
Therefore, the capability that is exclusive to the AMP public cloud instance as compared to the private cloud instance is the ETHOS detection engine.

ExplanationExplanationA Directory Harvest Attack (DHA) is a technique used by spammers to find valid/existent email addresses at a domain either by using Brute force or by guessing valid e-mail addresses at a domain using differentpermutations of common username. Its easy for attackers to get hold of a valid email address if yourorganization uses standard format for official e-mail alias (for example: [email protected]).
We canconfigure DHA Prevention to prevent malicious actors from quickly identifying valid recipients.Note:
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an Internet protocol that email programs use to look up contact information from a server, such as ClickMail Central Directory. For example, here's an LDAP search translated into plain English: "Search for all people located in Chicago who's name contains "Fred" that have an email address. Please return their full name, email, title, and description.
