End-user Access
End-users can connect to your network from a number of different types of computers (see "Endpoints
Supported" on page 147), be tested for compliance based on your definitions in the standard (high,
medium, or low security) or custom NAC policies (see "NAC Policies" on page 185), and are allowed or
denied access based on test results and your quarantine settings (see "Quarantining" on page 76).
During the login process the end-users are presented with the end-user access windows, which display
the testing status and required remediation steps.
This section describes the end-user access windows and options, and details any settings that need to be
made on the endpoints.
