Aruba, the manufacturer of our device registration solution, was recently acquired by Hewlett-Packard. As part of this transition, HP is rebranding the Aruba ClearPass QuickConnect software and has released an updated version on the Google Play Store. Unfortunately, this rebranding and software update have temporarily impacted the registration process for Android devices on the network. They have broken the hyperlink in their software, which still points to the older (now deleted) version of the ClearPass QuickConnect App. To ensure a smooth registration, we recommend that users download the new HP 'ClearPass QuickConnect' software on the Google Play Store before proceeding with the Intranet Instructions. We have informed Hewlett-Packard of this issue, and they are trying to resolve it.
