All,
The session was not recorded.
People in the w...@educause meeting were referring to various
commercial NAC solutions
Bradford, Clean Access (from Cisco) and Impulse Point... we didn't
talk about the Juniper solution.
We didn't go into the gory details on why the satisfaction was so low.
(at least I don't recall. If someone remembers, please come to my
rescue!)
One person was actively praising Impulse Point (and it was not a
vendor ;-)
As a side note:
In our testing at UTK, we encountered a lot of people frustrated by
the delay
that the "forced patching" requires, and usually at the worse moment!
We also suffered from slow updates in LDAP (people moving from one
department to another)
in our role based networking. NAC is not responsible for that problem,
but it's a detail to consider!
Eventually, we want to go to a trusted/untrusted network architecture
with 802.1x and Active Directory controlling
machines that need to access the trusted network.

I would be interested to learn more as well. I do have a
clarification question. By NAC are we talking about the Cisco
product or the general concept of NAC?
