Thanks, Rand.

I know when we first looked at Safe*Connect in June of last year, they plan=
ned on the self-service feature. When we took another look last February wh=
en evaluating ClearPass, Safe*Connect did not have the self-service portal =
so we could not consider them at our decision point.

I'm pretty sure that the version they are currently rolling out can do this=
 with what appears to be a brand new user self-service portal.

Hi all -

We have a Cisco infrastructure, except for a couple of areas still using Av=
aya AP-8 WAPs (to be upgraded over the next few years to Cisco). We are cur=
rently using an old home grown solution for registration, as well as an ini=
tial posture assessment, for our ResNet population (about 10K users). We ha=
ve been looking at Impulse Point, Cisco, and most recently, Bradford. Our c=
ampus network/security groups are looking at eventually expanding the solut=
ion to the entire campus, depending on how it works for ResNet. If any of y=
ou have any strong feelings about any of those, negative or positive, or ha=
ve any other solutions that you think we should look at, would you mind con=
tacting Scott Wu and I?

Michael,

Here, at the University of Florida, we have been using Impulse SafeConnect =
for posture assessment of all our resident's devices. This summer the rest =
of campus also started deploying SafeConnect in conjunction with our unifie=
d wireless project. In the early stages of this project we did research sev=
eral other NAC solutions and decided to go with Impulse. However, SafeConne=
ct is only used for posture assessment. We implemented 802.1x using open so=
urce products that work excellently and allow for a lot of flexibility; and=
 they are free. Don't hesitate to contact me if you would like more details=
.

Resnet,

We at the University of Montana currently employ a proprietary NAC solution=
. However, we are looking at other NAC products(specifically, SafeConnect a=
nd Cisco NAC). Does anyone use either of these solutions? If so, can you pl=
