    Hello Team, 

    now it is working successfully but there is one small issue actually after ending the time the port is not bouncing automatically so user are doing continue working with the cable. 

    but I want after ending the time it should be denied for them. 

    not understanding how to achieve this.

    Hi Jainmanu.

    You should send session timeout attribute to set the time when session need to be reauthorized. Then you can check in Clearpass if session can proceed/be reauthorized or need to be terminated.

    Hi Jainmanu.

    You should send IETF Session Timeout in seconds. 

    You have several options. 

    Simplest one is to send fixed number of seconds to reauthorize the session and then you can check in Clearpass, if it is expired.

    You can calculate how many seconds is to the end of allowed period and send this into IETF: Session Timeout.

    Hi Jain.

    Session Timeout will force authentication request in Clearpass and you need to handle it in your service role mapping and enforcement policies to check, if it is Allow or Deny response.

    Check Access tracker if you receive session authorization every 100 seconds.

    Hi Manu.

    I did not see any Deny Access profile in Your policy. You need to have Deny Access as a Default profile and explicit Allow Access in your  allow enforcement line.

    Hi Manu.

    No. I didn't see this. It wasn't downloaded. Did you check in access tracker that it really send deny?

    Hi Manu.

    Any progress? As Herman explain already, what is in Access Tracker? Do you see regular reauthentications?

    Best, Gorazd

    Can you maybe explain what you try to achieve and on what type of switch/AP? It's not fully clear to me what the goal is for what you try to do. 

    In the Role Mapping, I see you use IETF:Session-Timeout as a condition. I have not seen switches sending the Session-Timeout, that is mainly used as enforcement attribute to be sent back to the switch. Also, you switch needs to support session-timeout.

    What Gorazd was asking for is if you can share the screenshots of Access Tracker, as it shows the actual role mapping and selected enforcement profile, in the Input tab the received attributes.

    This probably is quite easy to fix with someone who knows ClearPass better, like your Aruba partner. But if you share what you try to configure and what ClearPass does, that would help. If you can include the authenticate port output of your switch (on AOS-CX: show port-access clients <interface-number> detail), that may help as well.
