Hi Michael,

We have done this except we do not posture assess the devices.  Its 
purpose is for students to be able to add their Xboxes, Wiis, Tivos, etc. 
We call it Network Self Service (NSS). 

NSS also has user/group permissions in order to allow certain users more 
access.  For example:  students can only add devices that are "gaming 
appliances" but desktop/network admins can add other devices such as 
printers, HVAC equipment, vending machines, toasters, etc. 

NSS ties in with our LDAP db for authentication.

Creating Filters via API



I would like to create a site where students can register their mac 
address from their device once per semester/year to allow them to bypass 
authentication but still perform posture assessment.  It looks like if a 
filter is put in as 'Access Type = CHECK:' the machine is still postured 
but not asked for login credentials.  I think from a user perspective this 
would take a lot of the hassle out of NAC.
 
I would imaging the Clean Access API could be used to get this done.  Has 
anyone done something like this?
 
Thanks,
