Obtain a Client ID and Client Secret for use in discovering Chrome devices

Obtain a Client ID and Client Secret for use in discovering Chrome devices

Working with Chrome devices requires credentials that grant the appliance access to a Google Apps Domain using the Admin SDK API. You must obtain a Client ID and a Client Secret from Google so that you can get an approval code for the appliance to use.

•
You have a Google Apps for Business domain or Google Apps for Education domain, with Chrome Device Management support.
•
You have a Google User admin account that is a member of the business or education domain. The account must be assigned the super user role.
•
You have a Google account that can be used as your developer account in this procedure. This account does not have to be the same as the admin account, nor does it have to be a member of the business or education domain.

The appliance is enabled to import device information about devices and users from a Google Apps Domain when the appliance has access to the Admin SDK API. Part of the credentialing process requires setting up a Google project, enabling the Admin SDK API from within it, and creating a Client ID and Client Secret.

1.
Sign in to your developer account at https://console.developers.google.com/.
2.
Create a project.
a.
Click Projects in the left navigation bar.
b.
Click Create Project to display the New Project dialog.
c.
Type a project name
d.
Use the auto-generated Project ID or type a unique ID of your choice.
e.
Click Create.
The Project Dashboard for the new project appears.
3.
Enable the Admin SDK API.
a.
Click APIs & auth in the left navigation bar to expand the section, and click APIs.
b.
Find Admin SDK under Browse APIs, and click the OFF Status button on the far right of the line to toggle the status to ON and enable the API.
c.
Read and agree to the terms of service and click Accept.
4.
Create an OAuth Client ID and Client Secret.
* 
NOTE: Quest recommends that you create a separate Client ID for each appliance that is configured to discover Chrome devices.
a.
In the APIs & auth section of the left navigation bar, click Credentials.
b.
In the OAuth section, click Create new Client ID to display the Create Client ID dialog.
c.
Click Configure consent screen to display the Consent screen dialog.
d.
Select your email from the EMAIL ADDRESS drop-down list, type the name of your product in PRODUCT NAME, and click Save to return to the Create Client ID dialog.
e.
Select Installed application.
f.
Select Other as the Installed Application Type, and click Create Client ID.
The Credentials page displays the created Client ID and Client Secret.
g.
Make note of the Client ID and Client Secret values.
The values are needed when you configure authorization credentials in the appliance for Chrome device discovery.

Add a Third Party Discovery Schedule to scan your network for G Suite devices and capture information about those devices. See Add a Discovery Schedule for a G Suite device.

Add a Discovery Schedule for a KACE Cloud Mobile Device Manager device

Add a Discovery Schedule for a KACE Cloud Mobile Device Manager device

If you use the KACE Cloud Mobile Device Manager (MDM) to manage access to smart phones and tablets, you can discover managed mobile devices using discovery scheduling. To scan your network for KACE Cloud MDM devices and capture information about those devices, add an External Integration Discovery Schedule.

NOTE: Any KACE Cloud MDM devices discovered using this method do not count toward the appliance license limit.
1.
Go to the Discovery Schedule Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Discovery Schedules.
c.
Select Choose Action > New.
2.
Select the Discovery Type to display the form with the options for the selected type, in this case External Integration [KACE Cloud Mobile Device Manager, G Suite, Workspace ONE].
3.
In the Name field, enter a name for the scan.
This name appears on the Discovery Schedules page.
4.
Expand KACE Cloud Mobile Device Manager and select the Discovery options.

5.
Optional: In the Notify section, enter an email address for being notified of when the discovery scan completes. The email includes the name of the discovery schedule.
6.
Specify the scan schedule:
* 
TIP: To maintain the scan inventory without scanning, set the schedule of the scan configuration to None.
