User's Manual

The user experience for device provisioning is the same in Figure 13 and Figure 11, however there are
implementation differences between these approaches.
The W-ClearPass Onboard Process
Devices Supporting Over-the-Air Provisioning
Dell Networking W-ClearPass Onboard supports secure device provisioning for iOS 4, iOS 5, and recent versions
of Mac OS X (10.7 “Lion” and later). These are collectively referred to as “iOS devices”. The Onboard process for
iOS devices is shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14 Onboard Process for iOS Devices
The W-Onboard process is divided into three stages:
1. Pre-provisioning. The enterprise’s root certificate is installed on the iOS device.
2. Provisioning. The user is authenticated at the device provisioning page and then provisions their device
with the Onboard server. The device is configured with appropriate network settings and a device-specific
certificate.
3. Authentication. After configuration is complete, the user switches to the secure network and is
authenticated using an EAP-TLS client certificate.
A sequence diagram showing the interactions between each component of this workflow is shown in Figure 15.
