HPE Aruba Certified ClearPass Professional (ACCP) — Question 23

A WLAN in an Aruba Mobility Master (MM)-based solution uses WPA2-Enterprise security. This WLAN currently authenticates users to Active Directory (AD), and users log in with their Windows domain credentials. Network administrators now want to authenticate the Windows clients as well, based on the client Computer
Names.
What should the administrators do on MM to achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Set up Machine Authentication on the WLAN.
• B. Set up Mac Authentication on the WLAN.
• C. Bind individual Mobility Controllers (MCs) to AD at the device level.
• D. Import the computer names from AD to the MM internal database.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Mac Authentication allows for the authentication of devices based on their MAC addresses, which is suitable for Windows clients. Option A is incorrect as Machine Authentication typically refers to authenticating the device rather than the user. Option C is not relevant to the authentication based on Computer Names. Option D does not directly facilitate the authentication process needed in this scenario.
