Steps for integrating Cisco Spaces with Basking.io

There are three basic steps to integrate Basking into Cisco Spaces.

1) Basking Shares URL and Secret

 Basking will share the integration URL and a secret, to be used in the second step. 

2) Configure iMaster NCE-Campus

In iMaster NCE-Campus, perform the following configuration:

  1. Navigate to System/System Settings/Third-party Service
  2. Select Data Upload 
  3. Enter the integration URL and secret provided by Basking in step (1)
  4. Click on Validator, and send the validator to Basking

3) Basking configures the validator

Once Basking configures the validator in our system, the data will start flowing using encrypted HTTPS requests.
