Chapter 9 NAC Configuration Scenario

Step 11 (Optional): Configure GAME Group Feedback

Enable GAME Group Feedback

To enable GAME group feedback:

Step 1 On the External Posture Validation Audit Server Setup page, in the GAME Group Feedback section, check the Request Device Type from Audit Server check box.

If this check box is not available, define an audit-device type attribute for the vendor in the internal ACS dictionary.

ACS for Windows:

With ACS for Windows, you use the CSUtil command. For detailed information, see “Posture Validation Attributes” in Appendix D of the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS.

ACS Solution Engine:

With ACS Solution Engine, you use the NAC Attributes Management page in the web interface. See “NAC Attribute Management (ACS Solution Engine Only)” in Chapter 8 of the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for more information.

Step 2 If you want to configure a default destination group that ACS uses if the audit server does not return a device type, check the Assign This Group if Audit Server Did not Return a Device-Typecheck box.

You should now add entries to the group assignment table. The group assignment table is a list of rules that set conditions that determine the user group to which to assign a particular device type that the audit server returns.

Step 3 Click Add to display the group assignment table and add a device-type feedback rule.

The group assignment table appears, as shown in Figure 9-59.

Step 4 In the group assignment table, specify:

User Group—Lists all user groups, including Any. The device type that the MAC authentication returns is initially compared with this list of device types.

Match Condition—Valid values for the operator are:
