using insigfht queries as part of the enforcement process

  • 1.  using insigfht queries as part of the enforcement process

    Posted Mar 25, 2024 07:34 AM

    We have a number of domain joined windows machines that normally perform eap-tls auth to connect to our  wired network.

    Occasionally an end user can instigate an elective rebuild  to rebuild their system.  As this is a windows rebuild theres a possibility that there will be a macauth in the middle of the rebuild. ( rebuilding the machine means that  it needs to wait for a gpo push for  a new cert)... in which case the device will get dropped into our captive portal vlan and. the rebuild will  fail.

    Can i use  insight as part of of the auth / process so that if  a mac address has performed a eap-tls within a given  time  interval I can push a different. enforcement policy. to enable the rebuild to continue?

    i can  push an attribute into endpoints  indicating last eap-tls, auth time and use that but just wondering if using  insight to  find last TLS auth might be a solution

    Hi

    This can be implemented with the Endpoints repository instead. In a large environment Insight database may not be active on all servers. Instead the Insight DB only exists on a few servers. 

    The process I usually utilize in this scenario is to have an enforcement profile writing a time stamp to the Endpoints database, the same type as utilized for guest and MAC caching, but to a custom attribute.

    During the MAC auth this attribute is checked for the authorization of the client.
