How to customize ClearPass SSH login 

May 06, 2020 05:04 AM

Requirement:

 

Customize ClearPass SSH login to allow AD users to login to ClearPass CLI using AD accounts.

 



Solution:

 

  • ClearPass versions prior to 6.8.0 only allows CLI login with "appadmin" as username
  • Starting from 6.8.0, CLI login can be customized to allow other users like AD users to use their AD credentials to login in ClearPass SSH access
  • CLI login with usernames other than appadmin username generates TACACS request and will be visible in access tracker
  • We can create customized TACACS login service in ClearPass to handle this requests.

 



Configuration:

 

  • Please use following service rules to differentiate TACACS SSH login request from other TACACS requests:

 

           

  • You could map AD or any source as user authentication source in Authentication section
  • Authorization and roles can be defined for users based on requirement
  • Important part of this configuration is to create a TACACS+ enforcement profile. Profile should be configured as below:

 

          

 

Note: Privilege for all CLI/SSH user logins will be same (i.e. Super Administrator) and cannot be modified/customized as of now.
