ClearPass AAA using Google

    Posted May 11, 2023 10:54 AM

    I am changing our wireless from IAP to controller managed. I would like to use ClearPass for 802.1x on the wireless, but we are removing Active Directory this summer. 
    I would like to utilize it to determine the user role based on the security group of the user and if the device is private. At this point, we are using Google for our user authentication.
    Is there a way for ClearPass to use Google for 802.1x?

    Thanks,

    I believe the Google LDAP can only be sued for authorization, but not for authentication.

    Easiest (?) way to do this would be to switch to EAP-TLS for the 802.1x authentication.  The certificate is used to create the initial authentication and then if there is information you want to draw from Google you can use LDAP as mentioned above to retrieve authorization information based upon something related to the user certificate.

    Hi tthompson,

    How would you do this?  would the service use EAP-TLS as the authentication method and Google Secure LDAP as the authorization?  How to you get the user to log into Google?  Does it require a Guest captive portal?

    Hi tthompson,

    Is there any documentation for this method?
