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.
This scenario focuses on a user that requires network access with a device that is not supplied by a corporate IT department and is connected to a 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.
Once the issue is resolved, users are automatically reauthenticated 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 set up W-ClearPass to assign users to different Roles to support guests, contractors, and employees.
The username and password credentials 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 the 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 cover a basic solution that uses W-ClearPass OnGuard and an N-Series switch. All scenarios contain a policy decision and enforcement that is based on posture information from OnGuard.
The configuration for the W-series controller remains the same regardless of the type of OnGuard client or the operating system used. The configuration for W-ClearPass will differentiate between the following combinations of OnGuard client types and computer operating system:
The solution enables a webpage hosted by W-ClearPass to access both OnGuard Persistent and OnGuard Dissolvable for employee and guest scenarios. See the Create an OnGuard landing webpage section for details.
