Block user access based on AD group membership

  • 1.  Block user access based on AD group membership

    Hi!

     

    I am administrating a k12 wireless environment, with aruba 7240 controllers and clearpass.

     

    Our students have both domain joined computers, authenticating to the wireless network with EAP-TLS user certificates, and BYOD devices authenticating with EAP-TLS onboard certificate or captive portal.

     

    Today we are using a proxy server to block students network access when students have exams, but for different reasons, we now want to use aruba to do this instead.

    The students teacher have a web-interface, where they can put the correct students in a AD group, and then the network access shall be blocked.

     

    I have done some research, and think we will have to do something like this to achieve this with aruba controller/clearpass:

    1. Get all mac-addresses that belong to a specific user (that the teacher has enabled blocking on) from the clearpass endpoint database

    2. Send these mac-addresses to clearpass, and make clearpass change the role of this particular user to something like "block-network-role"

    3. Send these mac-addresses to the controller, and make it run a change of authorization to these clients, so that they have to re-authenticate, and get the new role.

     

    Has anyone done something similar? Is there a easier way to do it?

    I do not now how to achieve this, any lead would be great!

    You can use a combination of AD groups and also the issuer of the cert to make decisions.

    For example, you can say if AD issued the cert and the group is student, do A vs certificate is issued from ClearPass and group is student do B.
