Captive Portal - Internal / External (ClearPass)

Summary

The Aruba Captive Portal solution is designed to create a captive portal SSID.  The solution allows you to specify either an internal captive portal hosted on the controller or an external captive portal such as ClearPass Guest.  Additionally, the solution allows the guests to be authenticated using the controller's internal database or by using a specified RADIUS server such as ClearPass Policy Manager.

This solution can be used to quickly integrate an Aruba Controller with a ClearPass Guest server.  Use the sample default values for an external captive portal (ClearPass Guest) to get started.  Optionally, enable MAC authentication to support the MAC caching feature in CPPM.
