Administrator Guide

For example, in a university setting, MACTrac provides a simple way for students to register their various
devices on the network:
l The student is authenticated and can register as many devices as they wish.
l MACTrac automatically detects each device's OS type, letting the network administrator easily build an
inventory of the devices on the network and architect an appropriate network policy.
l There is no additional license fee for these devices: Although MACTrac is part of W-ClearPass Guest,
MACTrac device registrations do not count against the W-ClearPass Guest license.
l As with other W-ClearPass Guest forms and views, the MACTrac user interface can be customized by adding
a custom skin or options such as an "Add Another Device"button.
This section describes the following:

Creating MACTrac Operators
MACTrac operators are users of W-ClearPass Guest who can register their personal devices on a local network.
The MACTrac operator profile and translation rule are already available in W-ClearPass Guest, and the MACTrac
role is available in W-ClearPass Policy Manager. No expiration time is set on MACTrac operator accounts.
To create a MACTrac operator:
1. In W-ClearPass Policy Manager, go to Configuration > Identity >Local Users and click Add User. The
Add Local User form opens.
2. In the User ID field, enter the MACTrac operator's username.
3. Complete the Name and Password fields. The minimum password length is six characters.
