Description
Host not moving to new SSID using EasyConnect.

Summary of what happens when an EasyConnect Policy is applied:
  1. Rogue host connects to an Open SSID.
  2. Rogue host goes through registration process in Captive Portal.
  3. Depending upon the device, Endpoint Compliance Policy matches and pushes an agent.
  4. EasyConnect Policy matches and Supplicant Configuration is applied (defines secure SSID, encryption & cipher).
  5. Agent attempts to move to the secure SSID.

EasyConnect Supplicant installation requirements:
  • Windows or Mac OS X:  Dissolvable or Persistent Agent
  • Android: Android mobile agent
  • iOS: Downloads supplicant from captive portal.  Ensure an old iOS mobile agent is NOT installed.  Otherwise supplicant configuration cannot be applied.

For EasyConnect functionality details, refer to Online Help or Administration and Operation topic Policies.


Scope
Version: 8.x
Solution
Define the symptom:
  • Review the endpoint compliance and EasyConnect policy configuration (what agent should they get and what SSID should they move to?)

When they register... 
  • What policy do they match for endpoint compliance?
  • Are they getting an agent?
  • What policy do they match for EasyConnect?
  • Does the endstation get a supplicant configuration applied?  If not, check the characters in the password.  Refer to related KB article below.
  • Are they getting moved to the secure SSID?
  • What OS displays for the host in the Host View?  Is it correct?  


Additional information that may need to be collected
  • Agent logs from the endstation.  Refer to related KB articles below.
  • NAC CLI:
    • tomcat-portal catalina
    • DumpHostRecords -mac
    • client -mac
    • output.master with RadiusManager debug enabled  
  • Screenshots of Endpoint Compliance policy, User/Host profile & Configuration
  • Screenshots of EasyConnect policy, User/Host profile & Configuration
