Question 150
An access controller accepts a staff user from RADIUS but assigns the guest role because the expected role attribute is absent. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The underlying issue is that successful authentication alone does not guarantee the intended network authorization attributes. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: the authenticated staff client receives its authorized role and access policy.
Incorrect Answers
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a wired port with both a phone and workstation grants employee access to the phone's unauthenticated identity. The reported fault instead arises because successful authentication alone does not guarantee the intended network authorization attributes.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a ClearPass service selects the wrong authentication source because a generic catch-all service rule matches before the intended EAP-TLS policy. The reported fault instead arises because successful authentication alone does not guarantee the intended network authorization attributes.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a corporate certificate was revoked, yet a connected endpoint retains network access indefinitely because no session reauthentication or revocation response occurs. The reported fault instead arises because successful authentication alone does not guarantee the intended network authorization attributes.
