Create a security group for the ASA on the ISE.
Generate the PAC file on the ISE to import into the ASA.

When you configure the AAA sever on the ASA, provide the shared secret you create here on the
ISE. The AAA server on the ASA uses this shared secret to communicate with the ISE.

documentation for the details to perform these tasks.
Log into the ISE.
Choose Policy > Policy Elements > Results > Security Group Access > Security Group.
Add a security group for the ASA. (Security groups are global and not ASA specific.)
The ISE creates an entry under Security Groups with a tag.
Under the Security Group Access section, configure a device ID credentials and password for the
ASA.
Log into the ISE.
Choose Administration > Network Resources > Network Devices.
From the list of devices, select the ASA device.
Under the Security Group Access (SGA), click Generate PAC.
To encrypt the PAC file, enter a password.
