ClearPass Guest Control Who Can Sponsor

    Posted Apr 17, 2014 11:50 AM

    I have ClearPass Guest up and running, and users can submit registration requests to sponsors.  I have customized the registration page to use the sponsor lookup.

     

    The problem I am having is that any use in our active directory can sponsor someone, and I want to limit it to a select group of people.  I have created an AD group "WiFi Approvers", and put a few individual users in this group.  I then created a translation rule that assigns members of this group the operator profile of "Reception and Front Desk".

     

    If I do a test lookup on my server with a user that is NOT in this group, the lookup is successful, and returns:

    'profile_name' => 'Null Profile',

    If I do a test lookup on my server with a user that is in this group, the lookup is successful, and returns:

    'profile_name' => 'Reception and Front Desk',

    So I would think everything is good, but any user can sponsor someone.

     

    When I look in CPPM --> Access Tracker and open 

    under Authorization Attributes it says

    Authorization:[Guest User Repository]:SponsorNameadmin

     

    and under Computed Attributes it has 

    GuestUser:sponsor_emailtest@domain.com
    GuestUser:sponsor_profile_nameIT Administrators

     

    Now the sponsor this was sent to is name "test" not "Admin"  so there is definately something I am missing.

     

    Can I limit who can sponser based on an AD group?

    Read through the following thread on this topic:

    http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/AAA-NAC-Guest-Access-BYOD/LDAP-Search-Filter-and-SEARCH/m-p/110375/highlight/true#M7034

     

    You need to create a custom LDAP filter, it can look something like this:

    (&
      (objectClass=user)

      (objectCategory=person)
      (|

        # Match users in any of these groups

        (memberOf=CN=Group1,OU=ou-name,DC=domain,DC=com)

        (memberOf=CN=Group2,OU=ou-name,DC=domain,DC=com)
        (memberOf=CN=Group3,OU=ou-name,DC=domain,DC=com)

      )
      (|

        # Match users by any of these criteria

        (sAMAccountName=*@SEARCH@*)
        (displayName=*@SEARCH@*)

        (cn=*@SEARCH@*)

        (sn=*@SEARCH@*)

        (givenName=*@SEARCH@*)

      )

    )
