HPE6-A78 Exam Dumps : Aruba Certified Network Security Associate Exam

Social engineering in the context of network security refers to the techniques used by hackers to manipulate individuals into breaking normal security procedures and best practices to gain unauthorized access to systems, networks, or physical locations, or for financial gain. Hackers use various forms of deception to trick employees into handing over confidential or personal information that can be used for fraudulent purposes. This definition encompasses phishing attacks, pretexting, baiting, and other manipulative techniques designed to exploit human psychology. Unlike other hacking methods that rely on technical means, social engineering targets the human element of security. References to social engineering, its methods, and defense strategies are commonly found in security training manuals, cybersecurity awareness programs, and authoritative resources like those from the SANS Institute or cybersecurity agencies.

To enable managers to use certificates to log into the Web UI of an Aruba Mobility Controller (MC), where Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) acts as the external server for authentication, it is essential to ensure that the MC trusts the HTTPS certificate used by CPPM. This involves uploading a trusted CA certificate to the MC that matches the one used by CPPM. Additionally, configuring a username and password for CPPM on the MC might be necessary to secure and facilitate communication between the MC and CPPM. This setup ensures that certificate-based authentication is securely validated, maintaining secure access control for the Web UI.

• Best practices for secure authentication and certificate management in enterprise network environments.

To enable an ArubaOS Mobility Controller (MC) to accept Change of Authorization (CoA) messages from a RADIUS server for wireless sessions on a WLAN, part of the setup on the MC involves creating a dynamic authorization, or RFC 3576, server with the provided IP address (10.5.5.5) and the correct shared secret. This setup allows the MC to handle CoA requests, which are used to change the authorization attributes of a session after it has been authenticated, such as disconnecting a user or changing a user's VLAN assignment.
