Cisco Trust Agent Version

Before installing CTA to clients, check the CTA version (Cisco Trust Agent or Cisco Trust Agent Supplicant) to install. The only difference between these two versions is that the Supplicant package provides layer 2 authentication for the computer and end user.

If the Cisco NAC Access Control Server (ACS) is version 4.0 or later, upgrade the Cisco Trust Agent on the clients to version 2.0 or later.

To check the CTA version:

  1. Open the OfficeScan server web console and click Cisco NAC > Agent Management.

  2. Click Use <CTA version>. The OfficeScan server starts to use the new version.

To manually replace the CTA package:

Manually replace the CTA package on the OfficeScan server if there is a specific version you want to use.

  1. In the CTA version you want to use, copy the CTA .msi file to the following folder:

    2. <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\CTA\CTA-Package

    OR

    <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\CTA\
    CTA-Supplicant-Package

  2. Copy the following files to <Server installation folder>\
    PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\CTA\PosturePlugin: TmabPP.dll, tmabpp.inf and TmAbPpAct.exe.

  3. In the web console, go to Cisco NAC > Agent Management and click Use <CTA version>.

After agent upgrade, the files will be zipped to PostureAgent.zip as a CTA deployment package under <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\download\Product.
