HPE7-A02 Exam Topic 2 Question 14 Discussion:
Question #: 14
Topic #: 2
A company wants HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to periodically poll Microsoft Endpoint Manager (formerly Intune) for attributes about its managed clients.
What should you do on ClearPass to permit this integration?
A.
Install the Intune extension from ClearPass Guest
B.
Import the Intune dictionary into the ClearPass dictionaries
C.
Create an Intune authentication source on CPPM
D.
Configure Endpoint Manager (Intune) as an event source on CPPM
For ClearPass to periodically query Microsoft Intune / Endpoint Manager for device attributes (compliance, owner, OS, etc.), you must configure Intune as an authentication source in Policy Manager. The ClearPass–Intune integration is implemented through an API-based auth source which CPPM polls on a schedule; it is not done via Guest extensions or syslog/event sources.
Aruba’s Intune integration guides describe configuring a “Microsoft Intune” (or “Endpoint Manager”) authentication source in ClearPass and supplying the Azure app registration details so CPPM can poll Intune via Microsoft Graph.
Option A is incorrect: the Intune integration is not a ClearPass Guest extension.
Option B is insufficient: adding dictionaries only defines attributes; it does not enable scheduled polling.
Option D is incorrect: Intune is not used as a syslog/event source for this use case; ClearPass initiates the polling via the authentication source.
Therefore, the correct configuration step is: Create an Intune authentication source on CPPM (Option C).
