Guest wi-fi with MAC caching matching guest-logon role

  • 1.  Guest wi-fi with MAC caching matching guest-logon role

    Posted May 30, 2023 07:01 PM

    Hi All,

    I setup a service for in the Aruba controller and Clearpass for Guest wi-fi with captive portal and MAC caching.  I've got it up to the point where I can connect the the SSID, get the captive portal page and authenticate.

    Clearpass Access tracker shows I'm authenticated both in the user and MAC service.  But in the controller I can see my client is still in the guest-logon role, that the wizard setup in the beginning.

    If I look at my enforcement policy, it looks like it's trying to MATCH ALL [Contractor], [User Authenticated], and [MAC caching].  I don't think it's doing that so it's failing to Condition 3 where it sends me back to the Guest-logon role.


    Here is a look at the RADIUS request info:

    Check. your settings in the guest login page settings for Login Method and address (see below):

    After logging into the page provided by ClearPass the client should be redirected back to the controller which triggers a subsequent RADIUS authentication request using the login credentials entered on the page. This is typically how deployments work, anyway (but there are alternative methods also).

    If you have loaded a public CA signed server certificate into the controller then use the FQDN from that certificate as the address in this field. If it's a wildcard then use captiveportal-login.<yourdomain> as the address (replacing <yourdomain> with the domain used for your certificate.

    The key differences I see in your logs vs mine is that in the policies used I see "Authentication Source: Local:localhost". I also see  "Endpoint:MAC-Auth Expiry =" in the Input Computed Attributes. It looks like no details are being pulled from the Endpoint Repository for your radius request. This might mean that the Endpoint Updates have not taken place (which occur in a different service). Are there any attributes present in the endpoint entry for that client?

    Did you use the Guest with MAC auth service template?

    Thanks for the reply.  Yes, yes and yes.  The web login is set to 'Controller-initiated,' I used the service template wizard, and the device was added to the endpoint database with two attributes:  username and Guest-role ID=1 which is what I would expect as I created the guest user with the role of Contractor (Guest is ID 2.)

    I just deleted all the services and profiles created when I did the Aruba controller WLAN and Clearpass service template wizard, and recreated them.  I was very careful to make sure all the role names match.  But it's pretty much doing the same thing, except this time the endpoint has no attributes.  It should be getting Guest role ID, username, and MAC caching expiration.

    I get the captive portal, I log in, but i never leave the guest-guest-logon role.  Any ideas?

    Turns out it was a certificate problem.  I had a wildcard certificate installed on the controller (captive portal) but I didn't have the root and intermediate installed.  Once I did that MAC caching worked.
