Addendum to the ProCurve Access Control Security Design Guide

Microsoft NAP

VPN Access

The VPN server must run on a Windows Server 2008 and Active Directory domain service is required. Figure A-8shows the VPN network access method.

Figure A-8. VPN Network Access

1.The NAP client (using the VPN NAP EP) sends its SSoH to the VPN server using PEAP over PPP.

2.The VPN server sends the client’s SSoH to the NPS.

3.The NPS performs a system health validation and sends its verdict to the VPN server.

4.The VPN server takes one of the following actions:

a.If the endpoint is compliant, it is given unrestricted network access over the VPN connection.

b.If the endpoint is non-compliant, IP filters are applied to the end- point’s connection.

802.1X Authentication

The 802.1X authentication method for network access does not require as many Windows-specific components as some of the other methods. It does, however, require Active Directory domain service. Figure A-9shows the 802.1X authentication method.
