Question 290
A network identity engineer receives the following requirement: A research lab must approve each external visitor before internet access, but an open hotspot currently authorizes everyone who accepts the terms. What underlying Cisco ISE dependency explains this result?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A hotspot's acceptance step does not prove a sponsor approved a named visitor or checked their eligibility. This behavior directly governs the stated requirement. The recommended action is: Use a sponsor-approval or fully sponsored guest workflow and enforce the approval status before enabling the guest authorization result. The acceptance result is: An unapproved visitor remains restricted and the same approved visitor gains only the authorized guest role.
Incorrect Answers
The offered option specifies “A guest account's existence is distinct from whether it is valid for the current visit window”. The question requires “A hotspot's acceptance step does not prove a sponsor approved a named visitor or checked their eligibility”: a hotspot's acceptance step does not prove a sponsor approved a named visitor or checked their eligibility. These are not equivalent responses to the stated requirement.
A hotspot's acceptance step does not prove a sponsor approved a named visitor or checked their eligibility. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Test accounts receive their respective allowed durations and access restrictions, with no accidental conference-account extension. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
A hotspot's acceptance step does not prove a sponsor approved a named visitor or checked their eligibility. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Portal trust depends on certificate hostname and chain validation; successful RADIUS redirection alone does not make the HTTPS identity trusted. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
