Discuss HP HPE7-A02 Exam Topic 9 Question 21

A company needs to enforce 802.1X authentication for its Windows domain computers to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). The

company needs the computers to authenticate as both machines and users in the same session.

Which authentication method should you set up on CPPM?

ATEAP

BPEAP MSCHAPv2

CEAP-TTLS

DEAP-TLS

Suggested Answer: A

To enforce 802.1X authentication for Windows domain computers to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) and have the computers authenticate as both machines and users in the same session, you should set up TEAP (Tunneled EAP) as the authentication method. TEAP supports both machine and user authentication within a single 802.1X session, making it suitable for scenarios where both types of authentication are required simultaneously.

PEAP MSCHAPv2 is easier to implement for user authentication.

Kenneth 7 months ago

EAP-TLS requires certificates, which can be complex.

Sanda 7 months ago

TEAP sounds interesting, but I’m not sure about its support.

Sharen 7 months ago

I’m leaning towards PEAP MSCHAPv2. It’s widely used.

Maurine 7 months ago

TEAP is interesting, but I’d stick with EAP-TLS for this.

Gladis 7 months ago

EAP-TLS requires certificates, right? Seems complicated.

Kris 7 months ago

Wait, isn't PEAP MSCHAPv2 also a solid option?

Dean 8 months ago

Totally agree, EAP-TLS is super secure!

Cherri 8 months ago

I think EAP-TLS is the best choice here.

As long as the answer isn't "Throw the whole computer out the window," I think I've got this.

I hope the exam doesn't have any trick questions like "What's the best way to get coffee stains out of your keyboard?"

C) EAP-TTLS is another option, but it's not as widely supported as PEAP MSCHAPv2.

Carma 9 months ago

D) EAP-TLS is a good choice too, but it requires client-side certificates which can be more complex to manage.

Elinore 9 months ago

EAP-TTLS sounds familiar, but I feel like it might not support both machine and user authentication as effectively as the others.

Cecily 9 months ago

I practiced a similar question where TEAP was mentioned, but I can't recall if it was the right choice for simultaneous authentication.

Chantell 9 months ago

I think PEAP MSCHAPv2 could work since it supports both machine and user authentication, but I need to double-check the specifics.

Erasmo 10 months ago

I've worked with CPPM before, so I'm feeling confident about this question. I think the answer is EAP-TLS, since it supports both machine and user authentication.

Annmarie 10 months ago

This is a good opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge of 802.1X authentication. I'll carefully consider each option and choose the one that best meets the company's needs.

Leonida 10 months ago

I'm a bit confused on the difference between TEAP and EAP-TTLS. I'll need to review those protocols to make sure I understand which one fits the requirements best.

Kina 10 months ago

I think EAP-TLS is the best choice. Strong security!

Hailey 10 months ago

I remember studying that EAP-TLS is often recommended for strong security, but I'm not sure if it's the best fit for this scenario.

Pearlie 10 months ago

B) PEAP MSCHAPv2 is the correct answer. It allows for both machine and user authentication in the same session.

Bulah 11 months ago

I feel EAP-TLS is more secure for both machines and users.

Gerry 11 months ago

Okay, I think I know the answer here. The company needs both machine and user authentication, so I'm pretty sure the right choice is PEAP MSCHAPv2.

Brinda 11 months ago

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different authentication methods and their capabilities.
