Integrate SureMDM with Aruba ClearPass Server


SureMDM’s integration with Aruba Clearpass ensures network security while business endpoints are accessing the company’s network.

Note: Aruba ClearPass integration is available only for Enterprise licenses.


Prerequisite


  • Enterprises should have an Aruba ClearPass server.

To integrate SureMDM with the Aruba ClearPass server,

1.  Log into the SureMDM Web Console.

2.  Navigate to Settings > Account Settings > Enterprise Integrations > NAC Integration and, select Enable NAC Integration.

3.  Select Aruba ClearPass from the Server drop-down menu.

4.  Enter the Aruba ClearPass server details:

     Authentication Endpoint - URL of the ClearPass server

     User Name 

Password

Client ID

Client Secret

     Note: You will get the details of UserName, Password, Client ID, and Client Secret while creating a Client on the ClearPass server. These settings will be used by SureMDM to authenticate itself to the ClearPass server. 

   

5.  Click Download Template.

     A preconfigured device attributes file (in CSV format) will download. 

6.  Open the CSV file and select all/required/add new parameters that need to be passed through the Aruba ClearPass server.

     Note: If you want to add new parameters to the CSV file, you need to contact support@42gears.com. 

7.  Click Save to save the CSV file.

8.  Click Import to upload the saved CSV file.

     Once the CSV file is imported, all/selected attributes will be listed in the Field Mapping section.

9.  Click Save.

     On successful integration, when a new Android device is enrolled into SureMDM, the device attributes will get updated in the MDM server. In turn, MDM will send a fresh set of attributes to the Aruba ClearPass server every time a device information is updated or whenever a new device is enrolled into SureMDM. ClearPass will use this information to enforce Network Access policies on the device.

     Note: When you delete or unenroll a device from the SureMDM console, the associated device’s attributes will also get deleted from the Aruba ClearPass console.
