Onboard Service Template
This service creates an Onboard Pre-Authentication service to check the user's credentials before starting the device provisioning process. This service template also creates an authorization service that checks whether a user's device can be provisioned using Onboard. To authenticate users prior to device provisioning with Onboard, as well as after device provisioning is completed, use an Aruba 802.1X Wireless service .
To access the Onboard service template:
1. Navigate to Configuration > Service Templates & Wizards.
2. From the Service Templates & Wizards page, select Onboard. The Service Templates - Onboard page opens to the General tab.
