Aruba ClearPass Integration

  • Activate Aruba ClearPass to gather building-level data from your Wi-Fi.

Prerequisites


  • You will need Aruba ClearPass admin privileges to complete this setup.

Integration Activities


Step 1. Set up the Employees

All employees must be configured with badging information and imported via Employee Import. Therefore, set up an Employee Import that includes the column:

  • Badge - Employee's Badge ID, Badge Code, or Username.

For more details, see Understanding the Employee Import Data.

Step 2. Set up the Badge Readers in SpaceIQ

Badge Readers must be configured on the Floor Map in SpaceIQ, and each Badge Reader must be configured with a unique code. This will identify the location where a person entered the building and left the building. The same code will be reported by the Badge Reader at the customer’s buildings.

Add a Device icon and set it up as a Badge Reader

  1. Navigate to the Floor Map floor_maps.png icon.
  2. Select the building and floor you are working on.
  3. Click the Map Editor map_editor_icon.png icon. The Map Editor displays.
  4. Click the ADD SPACE icon. The space drawer displays.

  6. On the Floor Map, click the Device icon. The data drawer displays.
  7. If you just added a device, the default Device Type will be a meeting room. From the Device Type drop-down, select Badge Reader.

  8. In the Badge Reader ID field, enter the unique code to identify this Badge Reader.
  9. Repeat steps 6 to 8 for the other Badge Readers on the floor map.

Any changes you make in the Data Drawer are saved automatically.

Step 3. Set up the Badging File

Set up a data file in a CSV format and include the following:

  • Badge - Employee's Badge ID, Badge Code, or Username.
  • Device Info - Device ID set up on the floor map in SpaceIQ.
  • Admitted at - Date and time the employee used the badge reader.
  • Status - Status of the employee's reading (Accepted or Denied).
