Role Derivation Clearpass to Controller

  • 1.  Role Derivation Clearpass to Controller

    Posted Nov 07, 2018 06:05 AM

    Hi guys,

     

    i have MM-MD running 8.2.2.1 and CPPM running 6.7.7.

    i have issue with user role derivation using Aruba VSA Aruba-User-Role. so the case is my user won't get proper role as assign by the clearpass server and yes the role is existed in my MD.

     

    tried to do user-debug and i can see the controller already assigning my user to the proper role (eduroam_smartphone) but somehow derived it back to guest role (default role in AAA i guess?)

     

     

    there is a line saying role (role=guest//eduroam_smartphone/logon). what does it mean by using '//' and '/' with multiple role?

     

    and there is another saying these:

    Setting cached role to NULL for user 8c:f5:a3:d0:de:7a".

    Setting cached role to guest for user 8c:f5:a3:d0:de:7a".

    which it changes back from the role given by clearpass back to its AAA default role. is it a new behaviour expected in ArubaOS 8?

     

    *it's my first time testing clearpass and ArubaOS 8

    "Station authenticate: method=8021x-User, "

     

    Turn off "Enforce Machine Authentication" in the 802.1x profile.
