Management Options for the ProCurve NAC 800
IDM
IDM
ProCurve IDM is a plug-in to PCM Plus that helps you assign users the correct
rights based on their identities. When managing a NAC 800, IDM can also
assign users rights based on their endpoint integrity posture.
You set up rights on IDM by configuring various settings, such as virtual local
area network (VLAN) assignments and allowed resources, in profiles. Rules
specify the correct profile for a group of users connecting at a certain time
and place—and optionally, with the NAC 800, with a certain endpoint integrity
posture.
IDM then pushes these settings to the IDM agent on RADIUS servers. When
you use the NAC 800 as a RADIUS server—with or without endpoint integ-
rity—IDM can manage and configure settings on that device just as on other
servers.
To manage a NAC 800, IDM must run version 2.2 auto update 2.
Enable IDM to Detect the NAC 800
When PCM Plus detects a NAC 800, IDM automatically detects the NAC 800
as long as these additional conditions are met:
1.
The NAC 800 has client/server permissions to the PCM Plus server.
Follow these steps:
a.
On the PCM Plus server, open the
access.txt
file, which, by default,
is stored in this directory:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Pack-
ard\PNM\server\config
.
Open the file in a text-based editor such as Notepad or Wordpad.
b.
Add the NAC 800’s IP address or hostname on its own line.
c.
Save and close the file.
2.
The version for the NAC 800’s IDM agent matches your IDM server’s
version.
The NAC 800’s software automatically includes the IDM agent. If there is
an update to the agent, release notes will instruct you how to update the
agent on the NAC 800.
