Joining ClearPass to Azure AD Domain Services

  • 1.  Joining ClearPass to Azure AD Domain Services

    Posted Dec 21, 2021 09:14 AM
    I am trying to build all cloud ClearPass - Azure ADDS setup. I can see that Centos can join Azure ADDS as per Microsoft documentation

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-domain-services/join-centos-linux-vm


    I have Azure ADDS setup and ClearPass in Azure Cloud. I can do LDAP/LDAPS from ClearPass to AADDS with no issues and I can join Windows devices to AADDS. I am trying to join ClearPass to AADDS to try EAP-PEAP, but I am receiving the following error (I replaced domain name with xxxxx)

    Adding host to AD domain...
    INFO - Fetched REALM 'xxxxx.COM' from domain FQDN
    'xxxxx.com'
    INFO - Fetched the NETBIOS name 'xxxxx'
    INFO - Creating domain directories for 'xxxxx'
    Enter admin@xxxxx.COM's password:
    kinit succeeded but ads_sasl_spnego_gensec_bind(KRB5) failed for
    ldap/sabbarinacademy.com with user[admin] realm[xxxxx.COM]: Unexpected information received
    Failed to join domain: failed to connect to AD: Unexpected
    information received
    INFO - Restoring smb configuration
    INFO - Deleting domain directories for 'xxxxx'
    ERROR - cppm failed to join the domain xxxxx.COM with
    domain controller as xxxxx.com
    Join domain failed

    Any one tried this before? Should this work? is it supported by Aruba?

    you can only do EAP-TLS auth with your setup.
    Note that legacy protocols such as EAP-PEAP are no longer supported when moving from on-prem to cloud identity providers.  
    if you need to do EAP-PEAP auth, then you 'll need NPS integration to Azure AD that can then be used as a RADIUS server by ClearPass.

    AAD DS is not supported for this use case. If you still want to use legacy protocols (PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2), which you shouldn't do, you'd need to set up a legacy AD domain controller as a VM in Azure.
