Maybe this is more a question for Clean Access developers, but does
anyone know of a way to use CCA as part of a campus security warning
system? I.E. Could CCA be used to send out campus intruder alerts?
Our site is VERY concerned about the recent college shootings. We are
exploring ALL alternatives for quickly communicating security alerts to
our users.
All our residence halls (and all our wireless users) are required to use
CCA. If the CCA agent that's already resident on these computer systems
could be used to display a warning message it could be a VERY useful
tool.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
We've discussed it, but here we aren't using the Agent, so to pop up a
web alert, we would have to deauthenticate everyone. And that might
interfere with the email or IM alerts...
We're considering using our Packetlogic (or Packetshaper) to interrupt
web traffic from off-campus, which would still permit other
communications to happen. Maybe later we could do a reauthentication
attempt to try to catch folks later.
With agents, you potentially have more options, 'tis true.
