Chapter 10 Cisco NAC Appliance Agents
Cisco NAC Agent
Note If the existing CAS certificate is not trusted on the client, the user must accept the optional certificate in
the Security Alert dialog that appears before the user can download the Agent.
Figure 10-4 ActiveX Installation Notice
4. If the user’s web browser settings are configured to verify actions like installing an ActiveX control
on the client machine, the user may need to verify the action. For example, in the case of Microsoft
IE, the user may need to click on a status bar that appears in the browser window and choose the
Install ActiveX Control option from the resulting pop-up to validate the ActiveX process. If the
ActiveX control fails to initialize, the user sees an ActiveX installation notice and, if you have set
up the Cisco NAC Appliance system to do so, the Cisco NAC Appliance system attempts to
download the Agent installation files via Java applet.
Note ActiveX is supported only on the 32-bit versions of Internet Explorer. You cannot install ActiveX
on a Firefox web browser or on a 64-bit version of Internet Explorer.
Note If you specify that the Java applet method is preferred using the Web Client (ActiveX/Applet)
option in the Administration > User Pages > Login Page configuration screen, the order of
these possibilities is reversed—the user sees a Java applet failure notice before the ActiveX
control attempts to install the Agent files on the client machine.
