NAP interoperability
Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP), implemented in Windows Vista, Windows 7 and
Windows Server is a new set of operating system components that provides a platform for
protected access to private networks. The NAP platform provides an integrated way of
detecting the health state of a network client, which attempts to connect to a network and
restricts the access of the network client until the policy requirements for connecting to the
network are met.
The SNAS NAP interoperability architecture allows you to deploy both the SNAS solution and
the Network Access Protection (NAP) in a symbiotic manner. It also allows you to enforce
security policies for network access using Avaya VPN Gateway, Avaya VPN Router or SNAS
and NAP together, leveraging the strengths of both server-side and client-side products.
It also deploys the NAP clients with or without a Microsoft NPS server present on your network.
If the Microsoft NPS server is available, it is consulted and it's response is used in a
configurable way to enhance the access decision made by the Avaya VPN Gateway, Avaya
VPN Router and SNAS. If your system does not contain a Microsoft NPS server in place, it
can still deploy clients with NAP support enabled and add a Microsoft NPS server later, if
desired.
