Guys, Please keep us updated. Many of us are in the planning stages of moving to CPPM 6.7.

I’ll take a look at the case. A maximum of 1 access license is consumed per MAC address, regardless of multiple sessions or lack of accounting stop. Thanks for the followup. tim From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> on behalf of Hector J Rios <hr...@lsu.edu<mailto:hr...@lsu.edu>> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> Date: Wednesday, April 4, 2018 at 12:49 PM To: "WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>" <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] ClearPass - not so clear anymore Update on my previous statement. We talked to Aruba and they saw our licensing count. It appears that the higher numbers we are seeing might be due to a bug. We do have accounting enabled everywhere. So not sure exactly what else could be causing this. We’ll be working with TAC and hopefully get this resolved. Our license count today showed 102K. We are only licensed for 75K and in the past we never exceeded 60K.

It is extremely powerful and open source. You can pay for commercial support.

The whole guest access thing has gotten ridiculously complex in the main players trying to funnel this through a behemoth NAC (same could be said for simple RADIUS) or through some other convoluted framework. Bluesocket (now Adtran) had a good thing going with a gateway that was simple to set up and use on any vendor’s WLAN. They too evolved into something chunky and complex. I’d love to see Adtran dust off the old code, make it just a wee bit updated on browser friendliness, and re-productize it as a cost-effective 3rd party guest solution. The rest of the industry has blown it in this regard, says I.

We have a case of sticker shock, however…at a cost of nearly $50K, it seems expensive for a captive portal. What alternative solutions are people using? We are very happy with FreeRADIUS for wireless auth, but we need a robust captive portal that allows OAuth/social media login or validated email/sms login. We tried packetfence, but in cluster mode, it wasn’t reliable. -- Jason Trinklein Wireless Engineering Manager College of Charleston 81 St. Philip Street | Office 311D | Charleston, SC 29403 trinkle...@cofc.edu<mailto:trinkle...@cofc.edu> | (843) 300–8009 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> on behalf of Hector J Rios <hr...@lsu.edu<mailto:hr...@lsu.edu>> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> Date: Monday, April 2, 2018 at 5:23 PM To: "WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>" <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] ClearPass - not so clear anymore I’ve got two complaints about this product. One, it seems like with every patch or upgrade, this solution is getting worse and worse. This is disappointing because when we bought this solution two years ago it was rock solid. Second, due to the new licensing scheme, we are now exceeding our licensing capacity. How convenient for Aruba, right? As some of you might know, the new licensing scheme is based on concurrency. When we purchased the solution the licensing scheme was based on rolling averages. Yes, the new licensing scheme is attempting to make things simpler, but at a higher cost. Ask your rep how much a 25K server costs and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
