Question : I am unable to add a new NAD device to CPPM

Environment Information : This issue is seen on CPPM 6.1.0 and to later 6.1 codes if the below discussed patch is not installed.

Symptoms : The WebUI freezes and does not allow users to make any changes on it.

Cause : This can be addressed by installing the "ClearPass 6.1 Admin UI issues patch" on the server.

Details of the patch: This patch fixes the issue, where the Admin UI does not work properly on CPPM servers which have no Internet access.


Download the patch from http://support.arubanetworks.com/DownloadSoftware/tabid/75/DMXModule/510/EntryId/10920/Default.aspx  and upload it to CPPM as shown below.

Navigate to "Administration » Agents and Software Updates » Software Updates" on CPPM and click on "Import Updates"





NOTE: The file will not be visible on WebUI and we will install the patch from CLI.

Login to CLI as "appadmin" and run the below commands.

# system update -i <name of patch>

This will install the patch and the issue will be addressed.
