ClearPass and SSH private/Public key auth to switch

  • 1.  ClearPass and SSH private/Public key auth to switch

    Posted Apr 16, 2020 11:10 AM

    I am currently leveraging ClearPass to authenticate users to our Aruba switches. The users are in Active Directory and one or two special users I created in the ClearPass local user database. My question is can I use ClearPass to Authenticate a user based on the SSH private / public key instead of having the user enter a password every time.

     

    This all stems from wanting to do automated scripts that log into switches and storing passwords in scripts is a big security risk. 

     

    or if anyone has any other ideas that would help with the security issue.

     

    Thanks.
