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.

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

Traffic Match Evaluation Order:

The rules are processed in sequential order, and the first rule that matches is applied.

The added rule only denies SSH traffic to 10.1.4.0/23. Since 10.1.11.42 is not within the 10.1.4.0/23 subnet, this rule does not apply.

Next Matching Rule:

Rule 2 permits traffic to the 10.1.6.0/23 network, but this does not include 10.1.11.42.

Rule 3 denies traffic to the broader 10.1.0.0/16 network and logs it. Since 10.1.11.42 falls under this range, this rule applies, and the traffic would be logged and dropped.

Logging and Denylist Actions:

The denylist action in the new rule only applies to SSH traffic to 10.1.4.0/23. Since the destination is outside that range, the denylist is not triggered.

To ensure that the correct profiles apply after client attributes are updated based on Syslog messages, you should tune the Change of Authorization (CoA) delay on the ClearPass servers to a value of 5 seconds or greater. This delay allows sufficient time for the attribute updates to be processed and for the reauthentication to occur correctly, ensuring that the updated profiles are accurately applied to the clients.

1.CoA Delay: Adjusting the CoA delay ensures that the system has enough time to update client attributes and reauthenticate them properly before applying new profiles.

2.Profile Accuracy: This delay helps in preventing premature reauthentication and ensures that the most recent attribute updates are considered when applying profiles.

3.System Synchronization: Ensures synchronization between the attribute update and the reauthentication process.
