Aruba Certified Network Security Expert Written Exam Questions and Answers

Question 1

You are setting up Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to enforce EAP-TLS authentication with Active Directory as the authentication source. The company wants to prevent users with disabled accounts from connecting even if those users still have valid certificates.

As the first part of meeting these criteria, what should you do to enable CPPM to determine where accounts are enabled in AD or not?

Options:

Add an Endpoint Context Server to the domain controller with actions for querying the domain controller for account status.

Enable OCSP in the EAP-TLS authentication method settings and configure an OCSP override to the domain controller FQDN.

Add a custom attribute for userAccountControl to the filters in the AD authentication source.

Install a Microsoft Active Directory extension in Aruba ClearPass Guest and set up an HTTP authentication source that points to that extension.

Question 2

Refer to the scenario.

# Introduction to the customer

You are helping a company add Aruba ClearPass to their network, which uses Aruba network infrastructure devices.

The company currently has a Windows domain and Windows CA. The Window CA issues certificates to domain computers, domain users, and servers such as domain controllers. An example of a certificate issued by the Windows CA is shown here.

The company is in the process of adding Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune) to manage its mobile clients. The customer is maintaining the on-prem AD for now and uses Azure AD Connect to sync with Azure AD.

# Requirements for issuing certificates to mobile clients

The company wants to use ClearPass Onboard to deploy certificates automatically to mobile clients enrolled in Intune. During this process, Onboard should communicate with Azure AD to validate the clients. High availability should also be provided for this scenario; in other words, clients should be able to get certificates from Subscriber 2 if Subscriber 1 is down.

The Intune admins intend to create certificate profiles that include a UPN SAN with the UPN of the user who enrolled the device.

# Requirements for authenticating clients

The customer requires all types of clients to connect and authenticate on the same corporate SSID.

The company wants CPPM to use these authentication methods:

EAP-TLS to authenticate users on mobile clients registered in Intune

TEAR, with EAP-TLS as the inner method to authenticate Windows domain computers and the users on them

To succeed, EAP-TLS (standalone or as a TEAP method) clients must meet these requirements:

Their certificate is valid and is not revoked, as validated by OCSP

The client’s username matches an account in AD

# Requirements for assigning clients to roles

After authentication, the customer wants the CPPM to assign clients to ClearPass roles based on the following rules:

Clients with certificates issued by Onboard are assigned the “mobile-onboarded” role

Clients that have passed TEAP Method 1 are assigned the “domain-computer” role

Clients in the AD group “Medical” are assigned the “medical-staff” role

Clients in the AD group “Reception” are assigned to the “reception-staff” role

The customer requires CPPM to assign authenticated clients to AOS firewall roles as follows:

Assign medical staff on mobile-onboarded clients to the “medical-mobile” firewall role

Assign other mobile-onboarded clients to the “mobile-other” firewall role

Assign medical staff on domain computers to the “medical-domain” firewall role

All reception staff on domain computers to the “reception-domain” firewall role

All domain computers with no valid user logged in to the “computer-only” firewall role

Deny other clients access

# Other requirements

Communications between ClearPass servers and on-prem AD domain controllers must be encrypted.

# Network topology

For the network infrastructure, this customer has Aruba APs and Aruba gateways, which are managed by Central. APs use tunneled WLANs, which tunnel traffic to the gateway cluster. The customer also has AOS-CX switches that are not managed by Central at this point.

# ClearPass cluster IP addressing and hostnames

A customer’s ClearPass cluster has these IP addresses:

Publisher = 10.47.47.5

Subscriber 1 = 10.47.47.6

Subscriber 2 = 10.47.47.7

Virtual IP with Subscriber 1 and Subscriber 2 = 10.47.47.8

The customer’s DNS server has these entries

cp.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.5

cps1.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.6

cps2.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.7

radius.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.8

onboard.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.8

The customer needs a secure way for users to enroll their new wireless clients in Intune. You are recommending a new WLAN that will provide the users with limited access for the enrollment.

You have set up captive portal for clients on this WLAN to a web page with instructions for enrolling devices. You will need to add several hostnames to the captive portal allowlist manually.

What is one of those hostnames?

Options:

The hostname used by ClearPass Policy ManaGer's RADIUS services

The ClearPass Onboard hostname referenced in an Onboard provisioninG profile

The ClearPass Onboard hostname referenced in Intune SCEP profiles

The hostname used by the on-prem domain controllers

Question 3

Refer to the scenario.

A customer has an AOS10 architecture that is managed by Aruba Central. Aruba infrastructure devices authenticate clients to an Aruba ClearPass cluster.

In Aruba Central, you are examining network traffic flows on a wireless IoT device that is categorized as “Raspberry Pi” clients. You see SSH traffic. You then check several more wireless IoT clients and see that they are sending SSH also.

You want an easy way to communicate the information that an IoT client has used SSH to Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM).

What step should you take?

Options:

On CPPM create an Endpoint Context Server that points to the Central API.

On CPPM enable Device Insight integration.

On Central configure APs and gateways to use CPPM as the RADIUS accounting server.

On Central set up CPPM as a Webhook application.

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because an Endpoint Context Server (ECS) is a feature that allows ClearPass to receive contextual information from external sources, such as Aruba Central, and use it for policy enforcement and reporting. An ECS can be configured to point to the Aruba Central API and fetch data such as device type, category, OS, applications, traffic flows, etc.

An ECS can be used to communicate the information that an IoT client has used SSH to Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). The ECS can query the Aruba Central API and retrieve the network traffic flows of the wireless IoT devices that are categorized as “Raspberry Pi” clients. The ECS can then filter the traffic flows by the SSH protocol and send the relevant information to CPPM. CPPM can then use this information for policy decisions, such as allowing or denying SSH access, or triggering alerts or actions.

B. On CPPM enable Device Insight integration. This is not a valid step because Device Insight is a feature that allows ClearPass to discover, profile, and fingerprint devices on the network using deep packet inspection (DPI) and machine learning (ML). Device Insight does not communicate with Aruba Central or receive information from it. Moreover, Device Insight might not be able to detect SSH traffic on encrypted wireless IoT devices without decrypting it first.

C. On Central configure APs and gateways to use CPPM as the RADIUS accounting server. This is not a valid step because RADIUS accounting is a feature that allows network devices to send periodic updates about the status and activity of authenticated users or devices to a RADIUS server, such as CPPM. RADIUS accounting does not communicate with Aruba Central or receive information from it. Moreover, RADIUS accounting might not be able to capture SSH traffic on wireless IoT devices without inspecting it first.

D. On Central set up CPPM as a Webhook application. This is not a valid step because Webhook is a feature that allows Aruba Central to send notifications or events to external applications or services using HTTP requests. Webhook does not communicate with CPPM or send information to it. Moreover, Webhook might not be able to send SSH traffic information on wireless IoT devices without filtering it first.
