from OCG , p.697

Cisco DNA Center integrates with many other tools, such as Active Directory, Identity Services Engine (ISE), ServiceNow, and Infoblox. This is possible because of the open APIs and SDKs available for Cisco DNA Center. Because of the integration with Active Directory and ISE, all the context of the user is searchable in Cisco DNA Center.
