Posture Validation Attributes
•attribute-name—A string, the attribute name appears in the Cisco Secure 
ACS HTML interface and logs for the associated posture validation attribute. 
For example, if the vendor ID is 9, the application ID is 1, and the attribute 
ID is 1, the attribute name is “Application-Posture-Token”.
•attribute-profile—A string, the attribute profile specifies whether 
Cisco Secure ACS can send the attribute in a posture validation response, can 
receive the attribute in a posture validation request, or can both send and 
receive the attribute during posture validation. Valid values for 
attribute-profile are:
–
in—Cisco Secure ACS accepts the attribute in posture validation 
requests and can log the attribute, and you can use it in local policy rule 
definitions. Attributes with an “in” attribute-profile are also known as 
inbound attributes.
–
out—Cisco Secure ACS can send the attribute in posture validation 
responses but you cannot use it in local policy rule definitions. Attributes 
with an “out” attribute-profile are also known as outbound attributes. The 
only outbound attributes that you can configure Cisco Secure ACS to log 
are the attributes for Application Posture Tokens and System Posture 
Tokens; however, these are system-defined attributes that you cannot 
modify.
–
in out—Cisco Secure ACS both accepts the attribute in posture 
validation requests and can send the attribute in posture validation 
responses. Attributes with an “in out” attribute-profile are also known as 
both inbound and outbound attributes.
•attribute-type—A string, the attribute type specifies the kind of data that is 
valid in the associated attribute. For attributes whose attribute-profile is in or 
in out, the attribute-type determines the types of operators available for 
defining local policy rules that use the attribute. An example of an inbound 
attribute is the ServicePacks attribute sent by CTA. An example of an 
outbound attribute is the System-Posture-Token attribute, sent to CTA.
Valid values of attribute-type are:
–
boolean
–
string
–
integer
–
unsigned integer
