Secure BYOD Access with ClearPass and Entra ID using SAML SSO
In this technote, we’ll configure ClearPass Onboard to generate and issue user certificates for Microsoft Entra ID users. The solution uses single sign-on (SSO) to authenticate users and onboard new devices, making it ideal for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scenarios. With this approach, Entra ID users can securely onboard…
