The update token is generated from the admin's browser, then transferred into the ClearPass configuraion. No special/additional access needed from the ClearPass appliance itself.

Thanks guys!
Another question,starting from 6.10, Software updates are authenticated using a token rather than username and password. Tokens are obtained by clicking the Generate Token button in the HPE PassPort Credentials,Which URLs and ports need to be allowed on the firewall so that tokens can be generated and updated

I would strongly recommend using the domain name, as the IP may change every now and then. Or create a rule that allows both IP and domain.

clearpass.arubanetworks.com - 443
https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ClearPass/6.10/PolicyManager/Content/CPPM_UserGuide/Admin/Software_Updates.htm?Highlight=clearpass.arubanetworks.com
We've did find allowing access to 443 on the IP address worked better than the domain name - https://104.36.248.89/ did the job.
