Advanced Policy Management
ClearPass advanced policy management support includes:
l Employee access
ClearPass Policy Manager offers user and device authentication based on 802.1X, non-802.1X, and Web
Portal access methods. To strengthen security in any environment, you can concurrently use multiple
authentication protocols, such as PEAP, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP-Public.
For fine-grained control, you can use attributes from multiple identity stores, such as Microsoft Active
Directory, LDAP-compliant directory, ODBC-compliant SQL database, token servers, and internal databases
across domains within a single policy.
Additionally, you can add posture assessments and remediation to existing policies at any time.
l Built-in device profiling
ClearPass provides a built-in profiling service that discovers and classifies all endpoints, regardless of device
type. You can obtain a variety of contextual data(such as MAC OUIs, DHCP fingerprinting, and other
identity-centric device data) and use this data within policies.
Stored profiling data identifies device profile changes and dynamically modifies authorization privileges.
For example, if a printer appears as a Windows laptop, ClearPass Policy Manager can automatically deny
access.
l Access for unmanaged endpoints
Unmanaged non-802.1X devices (such as printers, IP phones, and IP cameras) can be identified as known
or unknown upon connecting to the network. The identity of these devices is based on the presence of
their MAC address in an external or internal database.
l Secure configuration of personal devices
ClearPass Onboard fully automates the provisioning of any Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, ChromeOS, and
Ubuntu devices via a built-in enrollment workflow.
Valid users are redirected to a template-based interface to configure required SSIDs and 802.1X settings,
and download unique device credentials.
