NOTE:
A “%s” in the description text is a special variable that is interpolated into
extra information (passed from NAC 800) such as lists of missing patches, or
missing software.
CAUTION:
Normally NAC 800 uses Strings.py. If you create a CustomStrings.py file, make
sure that the number of placeholders (%s) for a given entry is equal to the
placeholders for that entry in Strings.py. If CustomStrings.py has a different
(smaller) number of placeholders than the entry in Strings.py had, tests will
result in an "unknown error," which can result in endpoints getting quaran-
tined when they should not be.
NOTE:
While editing the description avoid the use of double quotes “”. Use single
quotes instead. Double quotes will get interpreted by the software and can
cut the string short or cause the replacement to fail.
2. Once your custom strings script is complete, and you are ready to push it out to
all of the ESs:
a. Verify that the scripts and base classes are under the Custom directory tree
as specified above.
b. Enter the following on the command line of the NAC 800 MS:
installCustomTests
This command compiles the Python source files, builds an RPM, updates the policy
groups, and sends these changes to all ESs.
