    I was wondering if anybody has used ActiveSync as an Authorization Source to allow access to mobile devices ?
     
    There's an ActiveSync plugin that needs to be installed in the Exchange Server

     
    But do I need to point ClearPass to the server using the Endpoint Context Server :
     

     

     
    Thanks

    The ActiveSync plugin is only used as another way to profile devices.  It is not used for authentication or authorization.

     

    "ActiveSync Plugin

     

    The ActiveSync plugin is provided by Aruba and is to be installed on Microsoft Exchange servers. When a device communicates with exchange server using active sync protocol, it provides attributes like device-type and user-agent. These attributes are collected by the plugin software and are sent to the CPPM profiler. Profiler uses dictionaries to derive profiles from these attributes. "
