    For those running McAfee ePO in their environment and looking to integrate it with ClearPass, this serves as a solution based on my experience.

    In previous versions of ClearPass, configuring the McAfee ePO ClearPass extension required the use of the REST API. At the time, I was using ClearPass version 6.10.8, which guided users to the ClearPass Guest Extension Store via Guest > Administration > Extensions, where the extension could be installed by selecting the "Install Extension" option.

    However, querying the store for the McAfee ePO extension resulted in no matches being found.

    McAfee ePO no extension found

    Additionally, attempting to use the McAfee ePO link from the associated Tech Note led to an error indicating that the extension had been removed or was not available in the store.

    After contacting TAC, I was informed that the extension had indeed been removed from the Extension Store. As a temporary solution, TAC kindly provided me with the following Extension ID:

    • 54cbb5d5-a5ac-4349-beea-bcd776e4054f
    McAfee ePO specific ID being matched

    Using this Extension ID, the integration was completed successfully. The solution was tested and verified on ClearPass versions 6.10.8, 6.11.1, 6.12.0, and 6.9.


    This should help anyone encountering similar challenges when attempting to install the extension.
