Semi-Clean Access?

These have bothered me for a while... (but obviously not enough to ask ;-) 1) Cisco recommends making Windows Update requirements optional: The Windows Update requirement type is set to Optional (or do not enforce) by default to optimize user experience by running the update process in the

We upgraded our CAM/CAS to 4.1.6 yesterday and everything went ok. We upgraded the CAS servers first, then CAM as the release notes addressed. Our CAM uses the self signed perfigo cert and three CAS HA pairs use trusted signed cert from Thawte Premium Server CA. Although the Thawte Premium

Hi Rand We have used a mandatory WSUS requirement for a long time, and it causes no problems at all (well, except maybe on Windows 2000 clients). Also 3.1.6 fixes the bug that made it a bad idea to show the UI, so if Cisco would fix the new Vista bug, I could even give people a progress

As we continue to roll out CCA to our faculty/staff this year we here suggestions about streamlining the login process. A professor pointed out that the login process for Clean Access is several steps where the Cisco VPN is quite a bit less obtrusive (from off campus) Here were some thoughts

Max, Do you experience slower Agent login when using WSUS requirement comparing to the using Cisco rules? I tested it in our lab and it takes around 30 secs for Agent login using WSUS requirement, and sometimes I got 1 minute to login. By using Cisco rules, normally it takes 7-8 secs. That

John, If the faculty/staff machines are all part of an Active Directory domain, you can use Single-Sign-On. This uses the user's Kerberos login credentials and gives no-click login to Clean Access if the machine passes all checks. You can set a timeout for the login success screen (We use 3

John, 1) SSO itself will not slow down the login process. Blocked traffic in the unauthenticated role that inhibits GPOs/fileshares/etc will slow down your login. As for making it store credentials indefinitely, there have been some people who want that and some who want the remember me

Dennis, This is because we have to wait for the windows update agent to report its status back to us. When using the built in windows update rules we are just checking registry values. The advantage to WSUS is that when patches are released you don't have to wait for the internal

Hi Dennis We don't find Cisco rules as quick as that, but they are a lot quicker than WSUS. However, we had so much trouble with Cisco rules that I wouldn't dream of using them again. I was getting two or three instances per day of CCA wanting patches that either weren't needed or couldn't be
