I am working on a POC of a solution that will be provide WiFi coverage by deploying Aruba instant access points (IAP) in 100 plus sites.On each site Internet will be provided by 4G Modem Dongles connected to USB port of an Access Point. All IAPs will be managed by Aruba Central and Guest Wi-Fi services will be provided by ClearPass Guest.

User Connectivity Flow
- User connects to Visitor SSID.
- SSID will automatically redirect to ClearPass Captive Portal Page.
- User have to click on “Please click here to Register yourself” to submit user information.
- User will then submit a form.
- User will then be redirected to demo.feag-games.com.
For POC demonstration we don’t have public IP addresses so we are working on the following way around.
But in this scenario we are facing issues as when a user connects to the SSID it only assigns user IP address and did not redirect user to the ClearPass captive portal for authentication as a result user remains in Pre authentication role.
If we remove 4G Dongle then everything works fine.
I have also attached user connectivety flow document.
