Aruba Downloadable Role Enforcement Profiles

Policy Manager includes support for centralized policy definition and distribution. When ClearPass Policy Manager successfully authenticates a user, the user is assigned a role by ClearPass Policy Manager. However, if the role is not defined on the Aruba controller or switch, the role attributes can also be downloaded automatically. The following validations are performed for a Aruba Downloadable User Role (DUR):

Standard Mode elements are validated based on schema contents (syntax validation) prior to saving the DUR.

After a schema update, existing DURs remain unchanged until the admin user edits the DUR profile.

When an admin user edits an existing DUR profile, the syntax/configuration is re-validated, and an alert is shown to the admin to verify the changes.

Basic Profile Settings

Use the Profiles tab on the Downloadable Role Enforcement Profile dialog to configure the template, type of the profile, and the device group list, and specify the Role Configuration Mode as either Standard or Advanced.

Standard mode: User-provided options to configure individual components of a role (for example, Policer Profile, Stateless ACLAccess Control List. ACL is a common way of restricting certain types of traffic on a physical port. configuration, etc.). The user role is generated based on components added to the configuration.

Advanced mode: You can enter the entire role configuration as a text under a single attribute.

Events are logged in the Audit Viewer for create, update, and delete operations in the Captive Portal, Policy, and Class configurations. Events are also logged for generated user roles and import/export operations in enforcement profiles.

To configure the Aruba Downloadable Role Enforcement Profile:

1. Navigate to Configuration > Enforcement > Profiles. The Enforcement Profiles page opens.

2. Click the Add link. The Add Enforcement Profile page opens.

3. From the Template drop-down, select Aruba Downloadable Role Enforcement.

Role Configuration: Advanced Mode

When you set Role Configuration Mode to Advanced, the Enforcement Profile page displays the Attributes tab (see Figure 15 below).

 

In Advanced mode, a validation check is not available for downloadable role names that are greater than 64 characters. This is due to a limitation on the switch. Thus, if a downloadable role name configured on the Policy Manager server exceeds 64 characters, the enforcement profile may fail on the switch.

In Advanced mode, the Aruba Downloadable Role Enforcement profile provides two dictionaries and two attributes.

Mobility Controllers, and Mobility Access Switches and AOS-CX devices use the Aruba dictionary and the Aruba-CPPM-Role attribute.

ArubaOS-Switch devices use the Hewlett-Packard-Enterprise dictionary and the HPE-CPPM-Role and HPE-CPPM-Secondary-Role attributes. The HPE-CPPM-Secondary-Role attribute adds support for a downloadable secondary role that can be used with Per User Tunneled Node (PUTN).
