Hi Piotr

Actually my query was a different one. When we add a Posture Validation
Policy, we define the condition sets and then we select the Posture token
and Notification string for that policy as following

Posture Token:
Cisco:PA/Cisco:Host/Cisco:HIP-Healthy/Quarantine/Transition/Checkup/Infected/Unknown
Notification String: http://X.X.X.X


For the Posture Token, we can select either Cisco:PA or Cisco:Host or
Cisco:HIP.

Why do we have three types of Posture Tokens? Just having one simple Posture
Token without the classification of PA or Host or HIP, should be suffice
right?

I would like to know the significance of having three types of token. Please
comment


*Notification String*

The notification string can be added directly in the Posture Validation
Policy and in the NAP policy against each Posture Validation Policy.

When I add a Notification string in the Posture Validation policy, I have
never seen the string displayed in the popup. Instead, I always add it in
the NAP Policy > Posture Validation > Action, that works for me.

Any thoughts?



With regards
Kings
