About NAC 800 Tests
NAC 800 tests are assigned to NAC policies. NAC policies are used to test
endpoints attempting to connect to your network. NAC 800 tests might be
updated as often as hourly; however, at the time of this release, the tests shown
in “Tests Help” on page B-1 were included (see “Viewing Information About
Tests” on page 6-19 for instructions on viewing the latest list of tests).
Viewing Information About Tests
To view the most current list of tests and descriptions:
Home window>>NAC policies>>Select a NAC Policy>>Tests menu option
Click on a test name. The test description and selectable properties are shown
for the selected test.
If the icons (Figure 6-9 on page 6-21) are red, the test is enabled and the actions
selected will take effect immediately. If the icons are gray, the test is not
enabled, and the actions will not take effect. To enable the test, select the
check box next to the test name.
Selecting Test Properties
Tests either have standard properties (non-selectable), selectable properties,
or text entry fields.
Select the check box or radio button that applies for each test. A check box
indicates that you can make multiple selections. A radio button indicates that
you can make one choice from the list.
Entering Software Required/Not Allowed
NAC 800 checks the Windows registry on the endpoint for the existence of
software. Most software vendors record their product information in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
registry key using the following format:
<vendor>\<software package>\<version>
For example,
Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6
