    Team Aruba,

     

    We’re happy to announce an update to the ClearPass Configuration Guide for Onboard + Cloud Identity Providers. Version 2018-01 adds configuration details for Google's new Secure LDAP service for real-time authorization against Google Cloud Identity / G Suite in policy.

     

    This configuration guide is very focused and covers:

    • creating the required application in the cloud identity provider
    • configuring the ClearPass SAML Service Provider and OAuth 2.0 Relying Party
    • onboard provisioning settings changes required for SAML and OAuth 2.0
    • customizing the ClearPass SSO dictionary
    • building a SAML pre-authentication service for Onboard
    • using OAuth 2.0 return attributes in a role map and/or network access policy
    • Azure Active Directory, Google Cloud Identity / G Suite and Okta identity providers
    • Google Secure LDAP Connector for real-time authorization

     

    *see below for updated document link*

     

    Feedback always welcome!

     

    Enjoy!

     

    - Aruba Security Team

    Is there a required version level that supports this integration?

    Thanks for working up this guide, great info! Are there plans to add support for Azure Secure LDAP as there is for Google?

    Azure Active Directory does not have an LDAP interface by design.

    Ah, but htey have a guide for setting up secure LDAP:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-domain-services/active-directory-ds-admin-guide-configure-secure-ldap

    which makes the integration seem possible.

    That is AAD DS, not AAD. We have no plans to support AAD DS as it is only a transitionary offering from Microsoft.

    Here at ATMOSPHERE19 , attended your last session on Deep Dive: Auth Technologies. Great job , thank you.

     

    To my question. I am trying to decide if I should use SAML or OAuth2.0. I am trying to avoid 802.1X on a Macosx enverionment, having to many issues with bluetooth and 802.1X, turn it on and off is not a solution for my users. If I use SAML with Gsuite workflow, will that still require 802.1X ?

     

    Thank you in Adv.

    Hello on this page you mention Okta as an id source is depreciated, but it is still a source described in this Config guide and available in CPPM.

    Can you please confirm if this will be depreciated in future releases of CPPM?

    And if so why is it being depreciated?

    Okta is increasingly becoming more and more the iDP for everything, best at it in the industry..

    The Okta-specific auth source that is part of the CPPM auth source list is deprecated and no longer works. Okta is fully supported as described in the document.

    Hi thank you.  I am not a CPPM user, more an ID guy, so just making sense of the terminology used here and use case.  I want to configure Okta as the SSO iDP provider for our CPPM users/admins to sign in and manage CPPM.  The configuration guide describes the use of Okta for "Onboard enrollemnt"  Are we talking about the same thing here?

     

    • Primarily i was to integrate Okta for administrator signin to CPPM.

    "Okta Okta is a popular cloud identity management solution and ClearPass can leverage it as a SAML Identity Provider for Onboard enrollment."

     

    In saying that, is Okta also being described here as a authentication source for endpoints, wifi etc - in which case we could also make use of that!

    The process is very similar for CPPM Admin SP, yes.



    Regarding network authentication, Okta is used a IdP to validate identity prior to certificate issuance.

    Hi Tim,

    The document link is leading to the old Support Portal, is it available anywhere else (couldn't locate it in the new ASP)? Thanks.

    Yes, you can do SSO with a Cloud Identity provider to the ClearPass Guest or ClearPass Guest Operator pages. Just disable the Onboard action at that point; in fact the described Onboarding is just a more advanced way of doing Cloud Identity logins.

    Your Aruba partner or TAC can probably assist you in getting that configured.
