Clearpass and Smoothwall

[Geoff_AliefISD]

Would anyone by chance have information on integrating Clearpass with Smoothwall?

The open source firewall or commercial web filtering product?

What do you mean by integrate? What are you looking to do?

[Geoff_AliefISD]

The commercial web filtering product. :)

We would like to send our wireless web traffic through Smoothwall, and of course utilize Clearpass for group mappings etc.

I took a quick look through their knowledge base and they don’t appear to support external identity updates via API or RADIUS accounting.

Did you see this page? Smoothwall: BYOD

That looks like it would work using our RADIUS proxy feature but we haven’t tested with this vendor.

I work for Smoothwall and we support Radius accounting, so please give us call and we'll happily help you set this up.

By that you mean we can forward the RADIUS info from Clearpass?

[cappalli · Accepted solution]

You would enable RADIUS proxy in your ClearPass services pointed to the web filter. Looks like they want the group info in an IETF filter-id attribute.

Yes exactly, we are doing this with Clearpass and Aruba currently for a few customers.
