    Posted Nov 20, 2019 01:45 AM

    Hi,

     

    The client will not be using a Active Directory, the concern is they have no control on the number of user creation being made on it, as there are multiple admin

     

    As a way to bypass this is using CPPM Local User Repository as there logon accounts. But I notice that the Local User has a Global Setting "Account Setting" for the Student they intended it auto delete the account after the scholl year, 10 months. As for the Employee accounts they should not expire.

     

    Another option is using the Guest Account, but this generate a random digit password, the client will need to import a bulk amount of user logon, Student amount to 5,000 or more.

     

    Aruba7220 8.4.0.2

    CPPM VM 6.7.0.101814 C3000V

    CPPM is not really designed to be a primary identity store for persistent users.

     

    Also, you should really upgrade. 6.7.0 is incredibly old.

    Hi Cappalli,

     

    Thank for the info. 

     

    As for the 6.7.0 version of the CCPM, the client is using a VM ESXI 6.7, I think the version is dependent on the VM version if I'm right? also the generated license is for 6.7.x.x is it possible to upgrade to higher version? No complication if using VM ESXI 6.7 and license? Thanks.

    If they have 5000 users, how are they currently managing those? ClearPass can read from different SQL servers for example to get the authentication data.

    No. The CPPM version has no relationship to the hypervisor version.
