Trigger Enforcement after adding/editing Endpoint attribute

  • 1.  Trigger Enforcement after adding/editing Endpoint attribute

    Posted Aug 05, 2022 04:42 AM
    Hello Everyone,

    We need to trigger enforcements after adding/editing the Endpoint attributes.

    Is there an easy way or do we need to edit the whole process to profile our endpoints manualy ?

    Currently clearpass is configured as following:

    Switch Aruba 6100 - MAC Auth

    Service:

    Role Mapping:

    Enforcement:

    Thanks

    To be able to trigger an enforcement profile after you have updated an attribute in Endpoint db, you need to generate a new auth request.
    You can do that by have a switch-port bounce in either enforcement policy or use profiler and trigger a specific classification with a port bounce.
    Generally port bounce will cause the device to reconnect resulting in a new auth request.

    Hi ariyap,

    ive tried the enforcement profile with setting the device to known in the endpoint db.

    After editing the attribute nothing happens.

    Do i miss something ?

    as i said earlier, the enforcement policy that runs the post auth update endpoint attribute to known, should be configured to run a switch port bounce enforcement profile.
    The switch port bounce will force the client to reauth that generates a new auth session which should then match your condition for endpoint status = known.

    Right.

    Ive configured as you told above. 

    I think the problem is that the port bounce not happens.
    I can not see any bounce

    Can you see the 'RADIUS Dynamic Authorization' tab in Access Tracker for these clients?
    Can you successfully do a (manual) 'Change Status' from Access Tracker and do the AOS-CX Bounce Switch port successfully?
    Can you double-check that the Network Device (NAD) in ClearPass is set to vendor Aruba? If it is not, the AOS-CX - Bounce Switch Port will be ignored.

    Hi Herman !

    Can you see the 'RADIUS Dynamic Authorization' tab in Access Tracker for these clients?

    No, its missing:

    Can you successfully do a (manual) 'Change Status' from Access Tracker and do the AOS-CX Bounce Switch port successfully?

    Yes, this is working fine 


    Device on Port 1/1/3

    ...

    Can you double-check that the Network Device (NAD) in ClearPass is set to vendor Aruba? If it is not, the AOS-CX - Bounce Switch Port will be ignored.

    In the first screenshot, Access Tracker, I don't see in Enforcement the [AOS-CX Bounce Switch Port] in the list, but it could be that it is just scrolled out of the window. Is it there?

    BTW, regardless if it is there, or not, it may be best to open a case with support to run some interactive view through your policy/configuration to see what is wrong. Manual CoA works, so there is no good reason why an automatic CoA through the policy wouldn't work (provided the policy is triggered and you didn't by accident select a different enforcement policy that doesn't include the CoA).
