What Is ClearPass

Aruba ClearPass Installer — NAC & Zero Trust Access for Southern California

Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager is the network access control engine for HPE Aruba environments — authenticating every user and device that connects to your wired or wireless network, assigning a role based on identity and security posture, and enforcing granular access policies across both Aruba switches and APs simultaneously. As a certified Aruba ClearPass installer in Southern California, WCC configures ClearPass from the ground up: 802.1X policy design, device profiling, BYOD workflows, guest portals, and IoT segmentation — all built to your organization's specific security requirements.

ClearPass sits at the intersection of your wireless deployment and your switching infrastructure — it's what transforms a network that lets devices connect into a network that only lets the right devices connect with the right access. For official ClearPass documentation, see the official Aruba ClearPass page. For the Aruba switches and APs that ClearPass integrates with, see our Aruba Switches and Aruba Wireless pages.

What WCC Delivers

802.1X Policy Design

Authentication policy architecture designed before any configuration begins — network zones, role taxonomy, authentication sources, and enforcement points mapped to your organizational structure and security requirements.

ClearPass Installation & Licensing

ClearPass virtual appliance or hardware deployment, licensing, and integration with your Active Directory, LDAP, or RADIUS infrastructure — base platform configured and validated before policy build begins.

Device Profiling & Fingerprinting

ClearPass Profiler configured to fingerprint and classify devices by type — workstations, mobile phones, printers, cameras, medical devices, and IoT — assigning them to appropriate roles automatically on connection.

BYOD Onboarding

Employee-owned device certificate provisioning via ClearPass Onboard — self-service device enrollment, certificate issuance, and role assignment without IT involvement per device. Separate policy tracks for corporate and personal devices.

Guest Portal Configuration

Customized guest self-registration portal, sponsor approval workflow, time-limited credentials, bandwidth policies, and terms-of-service enforcement — fully branded and tested before go-live.

IoT Segmentation

IoT device profiling and role assignment — cameras, badge readers, HVAC sensors, and medical devices identified and placed in locked-down roles that restrict east-west movement across the network.

Policy Testing & Validation

Full policy walk-through — each device type and user role tested against the enforcement policy, edge cases identified, and false positive rate reduced before handoff to your team.

Admin Training & Runbooks

Live walkthrough of the ClearPass Policy Manager interface plus documented procedures for adding new device types, modifying roles, managing guest credentials, and reviewing access logs.

ClearPass Platform Components

What WCC Configures Inside ClearPass

ClearPass is a platform, not a single feature. WCC configures each component as part of a complete NAC deployment — not just the authentication piece.

Policy Manager

ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM)

The core policy engine — authentication services, authorization policies, role mapping, enforcement profiles, and integration with Active Directory, LDAP, MDM, and SIEM platforms. Everything else in ClearPass flows through Policy Manager.

Onboard

ClearPass Onboard

BYOD certificate provisioning — employees self-enroll their personal devices, ClearPass issues a unique certificate and applies the appropriate BYOD policy. Eliminates the PSK sharing problem and ensures personal devices are on the right network segment.

Guest

ClearPass Guest

Guest portal management — customizable self-registration, sponsor approval, time-limited access, bandwidth throttling, and branding. Supports MAC caching for recurring guest visitors and SMS/email credential delivery.

Profiler

ClearPass Device Profiler

Passive and active device fingerprinting — identifies device type, OS, and manufacturer from DHCP, HTTP, and network behavior data. Enables policy enforcement by device category without requiring agent software on the device.

OnGuard

ClearPass OnGuard

Endpoint health checks for managed devices — verifies antivirus status, OS patch level, and security software compliance before granting full network access. Non-compliant devices placed in a quarantine role with remediation access only.

Insight

ClearPass Insight

Reporting and analytics — user access reports, device inventory, authentication trends, and compliance dashboards. Provides the audit trail healthcare, education, and government organizations need for compliance documentation.

Industries Served

Who Needs Aruba ClearPass — Southern California Organizations

ClearPass is most valuable in environments with diverse device populations, compliance requirements, or mixed user types — all of which describe the organizations WCC serves across Southern California.

Healthcare & Medical

HIPAA-aligned network segmentation is one of the strongest use cases for ClearPass. Clinical VLANs for medical devices, staff access with Active Directory authentication, patient Wi-Fi isolation, and IoT segmentation for infusion pumps, badge readers, and building systems — all enforced dynamically as devices connect. ClearPass provides the audit trail that demonstrates HIPAA-compliant access control to auditors.

K-12 & Higher Education

School districts and universities manage thousands of mixed devices — district-issued Chromebooks, student personal devices, staff laptops, and guest users — all needing different access levels. ClearPass handles the entire device lifecycle: onboarding district devices automatically, creating BYOD workflows for students and staff, and providing CIPA-compliant content filtering segmentation for guest and student networks.

Government & Public Sector

Role-based access control is a common government security requirement — staff, contractors, and visitors all need different access to different network segments. ClearPass enforces this automatically at the point of connection, provides the access logging government security policies require, and integrates with Active Directory for domain-joined device authentication across city facilities, transit agencies, and public safety buildings.

Enterprise & Corporate

Enterprise environments with mixed BYOD policies and IoT device growth are exactly what ClearPass is built for. Corporate laptops get full access via certificate-based 802.1X, personal phones get limited BYOD access, IoT devices get segmented into purpose-built VLANs, and contractors get time-limited guest credentials — all automatically, without per-device IT tickets.

Warehouses & Logistics

Distribution centers have a growing IoT device population — barcode scanners, conveyor sensors, RFID readers, security cameras, and WMS terminals all connecting to the same infrastructure. ClearPass profiles and segments each device type automatically, ensuring WMS terminals can reach the WMS server while cameras are isolated from operational systems.

Commercial Real Estate

Multi-tenant office buildings need per-tenant network isolation with shared infrastructure. ClearPass provides tenant-based role assignment — each tenant's devices are placed in their own VLAN automatically based on certificate or credential, while the building's shared infrastructure (lobby Wi-Fi, visitor terminals) gets its own policy track.

Delivery Process

How WCC Deploys Aruba ClearPass

ClearPass deployments go wrong when policy design comes after installation. WCC designs the full policy architecture before touching a single configuration screen.

01

Policy Design

Role taxonomy, authentication sources, device profiling categories, and enforcement profiles designed on paper before any configuration begins — business requirements translated into a clear policy architecture.

02

Platform Deployment

ClearPass virtual appliance or hardware installation, licensing, and integration with Active Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS infrastructure — base platform verified before policy build.

03

Policy Build

Authentication services, authorization policies, role mappings, device profiling rules, BYOD workflows, and guest portal configuration built and tested in a staging environment.

04

Integration & Testing

Integration with Aruba switches and APs verified — each device type and user role tested against the enforcement policy, edge cases and false positives resolved before production rollout.

05

Production Rollout

Phased rollout — monitor mode first to observe traffic, then enforcement enabled zone by zone. Admin training, full policy documentation, and runbooks delivered at handoff.

FAQ

Aruba ClearPass Installer FAQs

Are you a certified Aruba ClearPass installer in Southern California?
Yes. WCC Technologies Group installs and configures Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager throughout Southern California — serving enterprises, healthcare facilities, school districts, government agencies, and commercial facilities from our headquarters in Chino, CA. ClearPass NAC configuration is a core WCC competency, not an afterthought.
What is Aruba ClearPass and what does it do?
Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager is a network access control (NAC) platform — it authenticates users and devices connecting to your wired and wireless network, assigns them a role based on identity and security posture, and enforces granular access policies across the entire network. ClearPass handles 802.1X authentication, device profiling, BYOD onboarding, guest portal management, and IoT device segmentation from a single policy engine.
What is the difference between ClearPass and a standard RADIUS server?
A traditional RADIUS server performs basic authentication — it checks credentials and grants or denies access. ClearPass goes much further: it profiles devices, evaluates security posture, assigns dynamic roles, manages guest workflows, integrates with Active Directory and MDM platforms, and enforces policies across both wired Aruba switches and wireless APs simultaneously. The result is a zero-trust access layer rather than a simple yes/no authentication gate.
Do you configure ClearPass for healthcare HIPAA compliance?
Yes. WCC configures ClearPass deployments with healthcare compliance in mind — clinical device VLANs, medical IoT segmentation, role-based access separating patient, staff, and visitor networks, and audit-ready policy documentation. ClearPass is one of the most effective tools for achieving the network segmentation that HIPAA-aligned environments require.
Can ClearPass manage BYOD and guest access?
Yes. ClearPass includes a full guest management portal with customizable self-registration, sponsor approval workflows, time-limited credentials, and bandwidth policies. For BYOD, ClearPass onboards employee-owned devices through a certificate provisioning workflow — placing them in an appropriate role without requiring IT intervention for each device.
Do you install ClearPass in the Inland Empire?
Yes. WCC installs ClearPass across the Inland Empire — serving Chino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, Fontana, Redlands, Riverside, Corona, Murrieta, and Temecula. No travel fees in the Inland Empire.
