The Manager platform makes it easy to secure next-generation mobility services, enhance network access security and compliance, and streamline network operations for wired, wireless and VPNs. The industry s most comprehensive policy management system, ClearPass offers role-based policies, detailed endpoint profiling, enterprise-grade RADIUS/TACACS+, BYOD and Apple Bonjourenabled device registration, mobile device management (MDM), and administrative web access. ClearPass is available as an enterprise starter bundle with guest access, device onboarding and posture assessment capabilities for up to 25 endpoints. Additional ClearPass Guest, Onboard and OnGuard licenses are available for a larger number of devices. Whether local or remote, ClearPass makes it effortless to centrally manage and enforce user- and device-based access policies across multivendor campus and distributed network infrastructures, regardless of device ownership or connection method. The ClearPass advantage ClearPass satisfies the demand for secure and efficient network access, policy enforcement and BYOD deployment. From one easy-to-manage platform, ClearPass presents a complete and accurate view of who and what has connected to wireless and wired network. Simplicity An intuitive web interface for administration and userdriven service portals ensures that mandated security measures are easy to implement and maintain, without requiring additional IT resources, management applications or appliances. Operational efficiency A complete out-of-the-box platform, ClearPass includes differentiated role-based access, enterprisegrade AAA, BYOD provisioning, device profiling, advanced reporting, and MDM capabilities across wireless, wired and VPNs. Innovation ClearPass includes many innovative BYOD capabilities, including uncommonly simple policy management, customizable guest access features, the ability to onboard hundreds of thousands of mobile device, and certificate management applications. The result is consistent, automated and secure network access that meets today s evolving BYOD and IT-managed mobile device requirements delivered from a single, extensible platform with capabilities that grow and adapt to changing business needs.
Advanced enforcement capabilities Broad multivendor support ClearPass includes a full complement of enforcement options for the largest possible mix of use-cases and does not require a forklift upgrade to the network infrastructure. Using any 802.1X or non-802.1x-enabled APs or switches, ClearPass enforces a wide range of context-aware policies, including dynamic role-based access, VLAN and ACL assignments, and application-aware quality of service (QoS). With ClearPass, a single policy can leverage multiple identity stores, including Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP-compliant directories, ODBC-compliant SQL databases, token servers and internal databases. This enables IT to manage and enforce network access at multiple levels and across domains when merging organizations or departments. Identity stores also can be used for authentication and ongoing authorization of users and devices. Integrated device profiling Built-in profiling discovers, categorizes and maintains a real-time database of endpoints, regardless of device type and IP address. The collected data MAC OUIs, DHCP fingerprinting, CDP/LLDP and onboarding inventory is then used to enforce context-aware access policies. Profiling offers the visibility to determine mobile device adoption and ownership. It also modifies authorization privileges when device profile changes are detected. So, if a printer appears as a smartphone, ClearPass automatically denies access and quarantines the device. Built-in BYOD enablement A fully functional captive portal supports wired and wireless user authentication from a single Manager web page, which enhances the BYOD user experience and reduces administrative overhead. It also includes Aruba AirGroup services, which let users register and share Bonjour-enabled ipads, Apple TVs and printers across VLANs. It optionally supports device registration to enforce policies based on the MAC address of gaming devices, printers and wireless IP cameras. In BYOD environments with mobile device management, ClearPass can probe MDM databases for jailbroken status, password strength and other device information, and apply it to access policies. This safeguard can be used for any device that connects based on MDM status. Unmanaged endpoint access Unmanaged non-802.1x devices printers, IP phones and IP cameras can be identified as known or unknown when they connect to the network and their MAC addresses are verified through profiling or against an external or internal database. After this verification process, Manager will create policies that enforce differentiated access for these devices whenever they connect to the network and regardless of their location. Scalable BYOD applications Built-in endpoint capacity enables IT to fully leverage all ClearPass Policy Manager features and rightsize BYOD deployments to accommodate the number of employees, devices and guests that connect via wireless, wired and VPNs at no additional cost. Secure device onboarding To ensure secure access for BYOD, ClearPass Onboard automatically provisions employee-owned Windows, Mac OS X, ios and Android devices for 802.1X authentication and issues a unique device credential that can be revoked if a device is lost or stolen. Additional information collected by ClearPass during the onboarding process such as device serial number, operating system version and model number is applied to wireless and wired network access policies. Customizable guest access and management ClearPass Guest makes it easy to implement self-registration and sponsor-based registration for guest Wi-Fi access. Sponsor roles let receptionists and non-it personnel create differentiated and group guest accounts and distribute credentials before visitors arrive. Self-registration and automated credential delivery streamlines IT operations and efficiency. Accounts can be set to automatically expire after a specific number of hours or days without IT involvement, and login credentials can be dispatched via email, SMS or label printers. A customizable guest portal simplifies the creation of branded login screens, posting of code-of-conduct messaging, and placement of advertisements and relevant organizational updates based on user role, location, department and venue. Real-time posture assessments ClearPass OnGuard runs operating system, anti-virus, antispyware and firewall health checks to ensure compliance and network integrity before guest and employee-owned devices connect. OnGuard enforce policies for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux via persistent or dissolvable agents. ClearPass OnGuard advanced posture checks also allow peerto-peer apps, bridged network interfaces, VM instances, USB storage devices and specific registry key entries. For a seamless user experience, automatic remediation services are available for non-compliant devices. Manager appliances Manager is available as hardware or a virtual appliance. Both have identical functionality and capacity to support 500, 5,000 and 25,000 unique authenticating devices. It can be configured in publisher/subscriber mode for active clustering of multiple appliances. The Manager virtual appliance is optimized to run on 64-bit VMware ESX and ESXi platforms, versions 4.0 (minimum), 5.0 and 5.1.

ORDERING GUIDANCE Ordering the Manager involves the following steps: 1. Determine the number of unique authenticating devices within your environment. This total includes printers, smartphones, computers, etc. 2. Choose the appropriate hardware or virtual appliance to accommodate the total number from above. 3. Select any additional licenses Onboard, OnGuard and Guest to accommodate the total number of devices for each of these applications. Anything over 5,000 total application licenses will require the purchase of a second Manager appliance. Example For secure BYOD provisioning of 2,000 mobile devices, ensure that the Manager platform is sized to accommodate the 2,000 mobile devices and anything else that will authenticate, such as via 802.1X and MAC auth. Purchase ClearPass Onboard licenses for 2,000 total devices to support the provisioning requirement. Additional Onboard licenses can be purchased as required.
