Meraki integration with umbrella and active directory

[LeoAri]

Hi friends

I am doing a Meraki integration where Cisco Umbrella security policies must be applied to Active Directory users. I am having problems with where to start. I read the following links:

Meraki integration link with Umbrella

https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Manually_Integrating_... 

Meraki AD integration link

https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Content_Filtering_and_Threat_Protection/Configuring_Active_Direc... 

I think I need to do the following:

1: Integrate Meraki with Active Directory, to view user groups

2: Use API to integrate umbrella with meraki

3: Create the group policy in meraki MX (with the sec license)

4: Link the group policy with the umbrella policy

5: Link an AD user group with the group policy

Could someone tell me if I'm right?

Could you suggest tutorials?

Regards

There are multiple ways to do this.

If you are happy to manage this in Umbrella (rather than the Meraki Dashboard) , the way I would do this is to:

* Deploy the Cisco Security Client (with the umbrella module) onto every machine.

* Sync Umbrella with Active Directory.

hi

Wouldn't it be necessary to integrate Meraki with Active Directory? Would only umbrella integrate with Active Directory?
Could I apply umbrella policies to AD user groups in Meraki?
the links you provided are the same

If you have the Cisco Security Client on every machine, you can apply Umbrella policies inside of Umbrella to whatever users and groups you like.

The bonus of this method is it works even when they are out of the office.
