Policy Server Summary

The Policy Server is responsible for evaluating the OfficeScan client’s security posture and for creating the posture token. It performs the evaluation by comparing the security posture with the latest versions of the Virus Pattern and Virus Scan Engine received from the OfficeScan server to which the client is a member. It returns the posture token to the Cisco Secure ACS server, which in turn passes it to the client via the Network Access Device.

After installing OfficeScan and the Policy Server, and deploying both the OfficeScan client and the Cisco Trust Agent, configure the Policy Server for Cisco NAC.

The Summary screen for Policy Server includes configuration settings for policies and rules, client validation logs, and registered OfficeScan servers on your network. The IP address and port number of the Policy Server for Cisco NAC appear at the top of the summary screen.

The Configuration Summary table displays the number of OfficeScan servers, Policy Server policies, and the rules that compose the policies.
