ClearPass Onboard CA as authentication source

    Hello,

    I have a client who is using ClearPass onboard+ Azure SSO to distribute client certificates (using Clearpass as CA). The question I have is can I use ClearPass Onboard as authentication source only for EAP-TLS in the 802.1x service or do I have to use Azure as authentication source?

    You can create an EAP-TLS Authentication Method which has the option 'Authorization' disabled. In that case you don't need an Authentication Source (or can use the local user database or endpoint database in as authentication source).

    Make sure that you do proper authorization during your role-mapping and/or enforcement.

    Thanks Herman. Worked like a charm. There is a shift in customer requirement and they are not using Okta instead of Azure. The onbaording part is still working fine with Okta as well. Is there a way I can set certain attributes for user during onbaord based on what we receive from Okta during SSO.

    E.g. Okta returns attribute X value = assign attribute X to user device during onboarding and for any subsequent EAP-TLS request, assign user role X based on attribute X associated to the onboarded device attribute

    We are aware Okta and Onboard repository will be disjoint after initial onbaording but customer is happy to do it this way during interim period.

    Do you see the attributes that you want to set in Access Tracker during the SSO authentication? If so, you should be able to use the Entity Update enforcement to put those attributes into the endpoint (with value %{whateverisshowninaccesstracker}). If you don't see them in Access Tracker, try to get them there.
