Aruba ClearPass

A network access control solution for device identification, policy enforcement, and threat remediation.

Connection Requirements

1 - IP

Enter the IP address of your Aruba ClearPass instance.

2 - Port

Specify the port number for the connection. This field is optional and defaults to 8080.

3 - Client ID and Client Secret

You will need to generate an API Key and Secret Key to authenticate the connection. Follow these steps to create them:

• Log in to Aruba ClearPass as the "admin" user.

• Navigate to the Administration -> API Services -> API Clients section.

• Create a client with ClearPass REST API operation mode, IT Administrators as operator profile and Client Credentials as grant type. You may choose access token lifetime as you wish. We're recommending as 1 hours

• Copy your Client ID and Client Secret.

4 - SSL

Choose whether to use SSL for secure connections. By default, the connection is unencrypted, but you can enable SSL for added security.

Attention

It is crucial to perform a connection test to verify that a valid connection to the Aruba ClearPass host is established. Once the discovery process is complete, the connection details will be displayed on the Assets page.
