Configure AlienApp for Akamai Enterprise Application Access in USM Anywhere

To enable the AlienApp for Akamai Enterprise Application Access

  1. In USM Anywhere, go to Data Sources > AlienApps.
  2. Click the Available Apps tab.
  3. Search for the AlienApp, and then click the tile.

    AlienApps operate through a deployed sensor and use APIs to integrate with the connected third-party technology. Select the sensor that can access the integration endpoint. The HTTPS connections to the API will originate from this sensor, so it is important to make sure the sensor has network access to the AlienApp API endpoints.

  6. Enter the Akamai Host URL, an API Access Token, Client Token, and Client Secret.

  7. Click Save.

  2. In the Job Scheduler, search for the AlienApp on the sensor to which it was deployed.

  3. In the enabled column, click the icon for the inactive collection job.

    The icon turns green, and collection is enabled.
