Hi All, Here are the questions I raised in today's teleconference. There are four System SoH attributes required by NAP we have not addressed so far. They are addressed by the IF-TNCCS document (the TNC-NAP binding document). These three attributes are: 1) MS-Quarantine-State - used to communicate information about the desired or resulting permission to a requested network resource for an endpoint. This attribute must be present both in SSoH (request) and SSoHR (response) message from/to an endpoint. 2) MS-Machine-Inventory - used to communicate information about the host operating system and its processor architecture. These values may be used by a server to make policy decisions. This attribute must be present in SSoH in request. 3) MS-Packet-Info - used to communicate information version and intent (request or response) of the SSoH and SSoHR. 4) MS-CorrelationId - used for facilitates correlation messages related to a single transaction together across multiple machines. This attribute must be present in both SSoH and SSoR messages. The TNC or NAP protocols are designed for PCs. Should we address these REQUIRED attributes in PWG HCD's health attribute mapping to NAP's SSoH and SSoHR? Should we require such attributes in HCD's health attribute for mapping to other protocols? As we proceed to propose our HCD Class plug-in to the MS NAP team, how should we address these REQUIRED attributes? May be these questions are too early at this stage. But I think we should keep these in mind as we build the standard. -Nancy
