Solution Summary

This article describes the configuration steps involved in integrating HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager with RSA ID Plus using SAML 2.0 and RADIUS. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.
    

Use Case

HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager can be integrated with RSA using My Page SSO, Relying Party, and RADIUS. When integrated, HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager.
     

Integration Types 

My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager users leveraging the RSA self-service portal, My Page. SP-initiated SSO is supported.

Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR. Existing SSO integrations using IDR My Applications continue to be supported and are listed in this document as applicable. 

  
Note: RSA will continue to maintain existing SAML SSO integrations using IDR My Applications. At a to-be-determined future date, RSA will announce the end-of-life (EOL) date for the SAML SSO support with the IDR. For more information, see Available Now: My Page SSO Enhancements. 

Relying Party integrations use SAML 2.0 to direct users’ web browsers to RSA Cloud Access Service (CAS) for authentication. With Relying Party integration, CAS can manage either additional authentication only or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication, depending on the service provider's capability.

RADIUS integrations provide a text-driven interface for RSA within the partner application. RADIUS provides support for most RSA authentication methods and flows.

Supported Features 

This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine which integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager using each integration type.

Configuration Summary

This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager with RSA for cloud administrators using all of the integration types.
This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products to install the required components.
All RSA and HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager components must be installed and working prior to the integration.
All the supported use cases of RSA with HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager require both server-side and client-side configuration changes. This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
