Unable to pass NAC Host Integrity check when accessing 802.1x wireless network

  • 1.  Unable to pass NAC Host Integrity check when accessing 802.1x wireless network

    Posted Jan 20, 2010 01:28 PM


    I have a client whose laptops are configured to use either the Juniper Odyssey client or the Cisco Wireless client to access their network.
    We have been unable to get the Juniper Odyssey or Cisco Wireless clients to work with the SNAC/SEP configuration.
    The in-built Microsoft wireless client works but does not meet the rigid security requirements.

    Any ideas / solutions would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Problem :

    Hosts are unable to pass NAC Host Integrity check when accessing the network over wireless.

    No such issues with Wired LAN access or VPN.

    Problem seen on both Windows XP and Vista platforms.

    Symantec NAC solution will only work with the Microsoft wireless client built into XP or Vista.

     

    NAC Environment:

    Symantec LAN & Gateway Enforcer                   version: 11.0.4000
    Symantec End point client                                   version: SEP11 MR4 MP1a (11.0.4026)

    Operating systems:                                              Windows XP, Windows Vista

    Mixture of Cisco and other vendor switches/APs at the network layer

     

    Wireless clients:
    Juniper Odyssey wireless client               version v4.7, v4.8, v5.0 and v5.1 (for both XP and Vista)
    Cisco Wireless client                                  version CCS4.2 for XP, CCS5.1 for Vista

    There was a fix for a SNAC/wireless issue that was fixed in the latest build (SEP 11 RU5).

    Unable to connect to wireless, no Symantec Network Access Control, over PEAP authentication
