Temporary Role Explanation
Summary:
Description of the restrictions placed onto a machine that has not met
security requirements.
Description:
If you attempt to log onto ResNet, but do not meet the minimum security
requirements, your computer will be placed into a Temporary Role. This will
limit your network access drastically, protecting the rest of campus from
potential security problems on your machine. Once your machine has met the
security requirements and has been verified as safe, all network
restrictions will be removed and you may access the network normally.
Questions
Q: The Cisco Clean Access Agent says I have "Temporary Access." What does
that mean?
A:
The Cisco Clean Access Agent will allow you "Temporary Access" if it detects
that your PC does not meet the minimum security standards set for ResNet. The Agent will give you a link to a webpage that will describe why you did
not meet the requirements, and will contain instructions on what needs to be
done. Until the security requirements are met, your PC will NOT have full
access to ResNet or the Internet.
