Aruba Clearpass Extensions

Extensions are like add-ons to ClearPass which run independently, allowing ClearPass to interact with any internal/external applications in real-time, enabling it to deliver different kinds of services

Some examples of ClearPass Extensions

•ClearPass Envoy Integration

•Intel McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Integration

•Microsoft Intune MDM Integration•Amazon Alexa Integration

•RadSec Proxy

Features of Extensions

-They allow ClearPass to interact with most applications that support APIs−You don’t have to wait for the software release cycle of ClearPass to integrate with a new 3rd party application

−Data is fetched in real time without having to wait for a polling interval−Ability to install only the extensions we are interested in

−Monitor/debug/restart specific extensions linked to a functionality without affecting ClearPass core functions.

−Extend the core functionality of modules like Radius in features like RadSec where the extension can act as a bridge between NAD devices and the Radius module
