HP HPE7-A02 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Integration of CPDI and CPPM for Zero Trust:

CPDI (ClearPass Device Insight) identifies and profiles devices and applications on the network.

CPDI can tag devices based on their behavior or detected applications.

CPPM uses these tags to enforce policies, such as quarantining clients that violate security rules (e.g., using prohibited applications).

Option Analysis:

Option A: Incorrect. CPPM does not inform CPDI about role assignments; CPDI provides device context to CPPM.

Option B: Correct. CPDI tags clients, and CPPM uses those tags to enforce quarantine or other Zero Trust actions.

Option C: Incorrect. Custom fingerprint definitions are not part of this integration.

Option D: Incorrect. CPDI provides information about devices, not user identities.

ClearPass OnGuard uses a Posture Policy object to define:

Which checks are performed (e.g., AV installed, firewall status, patches)

How the results map to posture tokens such as “Healthy,” “Quarantined,” etc.

The official OnGuard configuration workflow states that you must first “Define the posture policy”, and that these posture policies contain the rules for evaluating health and determining posture tokens.

Service enforcement policies then consume the posture token (e.g., Tips:Posture = Healthy) but do not define the posture conditions themselves. The “Posture” tab on a service is used to enable posture and associate it with the posture policy; the detailed rules live in the posture policy object.

Therefore, posture logic is defined by creating rules within a posture policy → Option A.

To fix the issue where authorization fails because the usernames do not exist in the authentication source, you can configure rules in HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to strip the domain name from the username. When certificates are issued by a Windows CA, the username in the certificate often includes the domain (e.g., user@domain.com). ClearPass might not be able to find this format in the authentication source. By stripping the domain name, you ensure that ClearPass searches for just the username (e.g., user) in the authentication source, allowing successful authentication.
