The following example details a typical scenario involving a user requiring access to a corporate or guest network. Posture compliance with OnGuard is the key feature demonstrated.
In this scenario, a user requires network access with a device not supplied by a corporate IT department and is connecting to network using a wireless connection.
Users are automatically reauthenticated once the issue is resolved and placed into the appropriate User Role. Sometimes, autoremediation can perform changes without user action.
The scenario detailed above can be used for any type of guest or employee network. The example in this guide uses a single employee VLAN. The user is assigned a full access Employee Role or a restricted Quarantine Role. Administrators can setup W-ClearPass to assign users to different roles to support guests, contractors, or employees.
The username and password credentials used in this example are stored in a Windows Server Active Directory. Any authentication type, including certificates can be used with OnGuard posture policies. This guide does not provide details on the configuration of all authentication types.
Note: For further information about BYOD topics through Onboard and Guest access, see the W-ClearPass User Guide or other available deployment guides, at https://www.dell.com/support.
The configuration examples in the Dell W-series controller configuration – wireless and Dell W-ClearPass configuration – wireless sections detail a basic solution that uses W-ClearPass OnGuard and an N-series switch. All scenarios contain a policy decision and enforcement based on posture information from OnGuard.
The configuration for the W-Series IAP remains the same, regardless of the type of OnGuard client or operating system used. The configuration for W-ClearPass differentiates between the following combinations of OnGuard client types and computer operating systems:
The solution enables a webpage hosted by W-ClearPass to access both OnGuard application types for employees, and guest scenarios.
