Unable to login to CP Guest with Operator account

    I am unable to login to CP Guest with an operator account.  Fails with incorrect username or password error.

    The operator account is not LDAP.

    Any help/suggestions would be recommended, or if anyone has any specific examples of the Mapping Rules for an operator login, I would be grateful.

    Thanks.

    Did you create a TACACS enforcement profile that returns the role name to ClearPass guest?

    Hi,

     

    I didn't have any Enforcement Profiles set.

    I have tried the TACACS template you have suggested; but this is still failing - under the Enforcement Profile options for Service Attributesthere is no Engineering profile listed - just Super Admin downto API Admin (don;t know if that indicates anything in particular that is wrong).

     

    I've tried applying the default Receptionist role to the user that I created - to try and isolate what is not working; and this still failsw ith same error.

    Hi,

     

    The process that I am trying to follow to login to Clearpass Guest is to connect to https://<ip address>/tips/welcome.action

    This then presents me with CPPM, CP Guest, CP OnB+W and CP Insight.

    If I select the CP Guest option and try to login using the OPERATOR LOGIN form, I get Invalid Username or Password

    I have now realised that I have the same problem with the admin account on Clearpass.

    If I login to CPPM as admin and then launch CPG I do not get prompted for a username\password and get logged in - I have been doing this without error (through sheer luck).

    If I try and launch CPG from the welcome.action form (and not login to CPPM first) I get the same problem as with the operator accounts I have tried to setup.

    Is there an error in access tracker when you try to log in?

    It means that you either don't have a service defined or it's been disabled or deleted.

    There should be one in there by default for guest operator.

    All problems, for Operator and admin have been resolved.

    Navigated to CPPM > Configuration > Services and then need to enable both (not one) of the following:

    Policy Manager Admin Network Login Service           Type=TACACS

    Guest Operator Logins                                                   Type=Application

     

    Many thanks for all input into investigating this problem.
