This may seem like a basic question, but how can there be "Rogue Clients" if the system is setup for open authentication?
Is this even possible?
I am asking this because two Rogue Clients have appeared in the system and it is unclear what these are. Is client that connects to a rogue ap considered a "rogue client"? This does not seem to be defined anywhere in the documentation that I have found.
In the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide, it does make one reference to "Detect trusted clients on rogue APs..........Alarm Only".
However, we do not have a list of "trusted users" loaded. Does the WLC assume that if a client once connected to it and then connects to another "rogue" AP that the client now becomes classified as "rogue"?
The definition seems sketchy.

If I had to guess, I'd say you probably have two previously associated clients that are doing an "Ad Hoc" connection to each other.
FWIW, running an open system for a corporate network is generally considered a Very Bad Idea.
Good Luck

Normally, I would agree. However, this is a college and the customer is using a Blue Socket device (for now) to authenticate their users to permit them to go to the Internet).
