    Posted Aug 19, 2021 11:07 AM
    Hi.
    I'm setup Clearpass Service adding Profiler Endpoint on Service.

    but on new device firt connect to SSID. CLearpass output Alert Cannot Failed to get value for attributes=[Category].
    When device 2nd connection it is works fine .
    On Switch I Have config DHCP-Relay to Clearpass.
    I don't understand why in the Endpoint attribute there is information that the endpoint category is Computer but the Alert still says Cannot Failed to get value for attributes=[Category]. is this a bug of Clearpass 6.9.0.130064? 

    Many Tks

    That is exactly what I would expect. At the first connect, there is no profiling information available, and that is what the error message is telling (and thus it is harmless as well).

    After that first authentication, the DHCP relay will share information to ClearPass and will, and should trigger a Change-of -Authorization ([Terminate Wireless Session]). So at the time of the authentication, the profiling information is not there, shortly after it is there, but after the authentication.

    That means the second authentication will have access to the profiling information.

    If you don't see the automatic reauthentication, check your CoA/RFC3579 settings on both ClearPass and your AP/switch/controller, and check with a manual Change Status from Access Tracker if CoA works.

    Dear Herman Robert.
    Tks for response.
    On Clearpass and IAP i have config RFC 3579.
    But on access tracker i don't see tab Radius COA and i can't change status on access tracker manual to Radius COA

    I think Clearpass don't sent Radius CoA althought i have config action is Radius CoA [ArubaOS Wireless - Terminate Session]
    many tks.

    Did you enable accounting on your SSID? If the 'Change Status' does not offer the Terminate Session there is something wrong with the configuration. What you show above looks okayish, just I think you don't need rfc5997 set (I have it mostly disabled). Accounting is configured on the SSID, not on the RADIUS server.

    This is how CoA / Change Status should look like: https://youtu.be/-5_wdyQmpXE?t=240

    Can't see from those logs the accounting. Can you check if you have Insight enabled on your ClearPass? And if possible the 'Log interim accounting packets' under the RADIUS Service parameters?

    Do you see the Accounting tab in access tracker? That indicates that there is proper accounting coming in.

    Dear Herman.
    I tried backing up the config from the failed CLearpass and restoring to other CLearpass device in another environment, there was a Radius CoA tab. I don't understand why Clearpass's customer doesn't have the Radius CoA information sent. 2 Clearpass is the same firmware 6.9.0.130064
    In another Clearpass. 2 Clearpass is the same config

    If you don't have accounting, the CoA will not work.

    Further, I would strongly recommend to upgrade to the latest 6.9 hotfix, don't stick in the 6.9.0 version if there are updates available. I don't think there were specific fixes for CoA in 6.9 patch releases, but if you deploy a new ClearPass upgrade to the latest patch that is available.

    In case you are not able to get your accounting working, please work with your Aruba partner or Aruba support.

    Dear Herman,
    many tks for support.
    I'm updated to lastest 6.9 is 6.9.6 and in firts time connect of client, i can manual edit Radius CoA in Change Status Access tracker.
    But Clearpass Still don't Sent Radius CoA automatic.

    After i change manual Radius CoA on ACcess tracker

    If you configured the CoA action in the profiling tab of your service, and manual Change Status/CoA works, but the automatic CoA doesn't, then yes that is not as expected and you can open a TAC case to get that validated.
