Clearpass API to Change Status

    I'm looking for the correct API syntax to change device status in Clearpass. Users who complete the process of transitioning from a captive role to an authorized role for access are not being reauthorized and as a result I'd like to force that reauthorization with a Change Status: [Aruba Terminate Session] to force a role refresh.

     

    The API documention speaks about Change Status but it appears to be separate from the functionality I need. Thank you!

    In API Explorer, take a look at Identity > Endpoint which will give all the
    attributes for an endpoint including the status.

    Thank you for the quick response, Tim.

     

    I looked at the endpoint status attribute, but that appears to be restricted to Known, Unknown and Disabled. Would changing this attribute value cause the endsystem to reauthenticate against Radius? Would I need to make the API call to the controller instead?

    My apologies, my answer was the opposite of what you asked. Misread.

     

    Try using Danny's solution here:
