Status in Endpoint

    I'm sure that I'm just missing something here.  I would like to add the status condition from my endpoints to my enforcement policy for MAC auth.  Is this possible?

    For instance I would like to manually move the endpoint status to Known and have this be part of my enforcement.

    Thanks!

    If i understand you, you want to change the status of an endpoint by the enforcement policy?
    If yes, do it by creating post-auth profile and in the rules, add: 

    Status-Update : Endpoint : Known

    and then add to your enforcement policy.

    This did not work.  There is a condition you can use in role mapping or enforcement (where I chose) to match the known/unknown condition of the endpoint.

    Authentication:MacAuth equals KnownClient (or UnknownClient)

    I did find this in documentation.  It was kind of obscure but a little configuration and testing confirmed my configuration.

    Easiest way is to add enforcement profile [Update Endpoint Known] to your enforcement policy.

    You may already be aware but just in case you are not,  you can use mac-auth instead of allow-all-mac-auth auth-source to automatically reject any devices that are not marked "known"

    Just to add to this thread with regard to mac authentication.  You can utilize the auth method [MAC-AUTHENTICATION] vs the [ALLOW ALL MAC AUTHENTICATION] to reject any auths that are not from devices that are marked "KNOWN".  Alternatively you can use [ALLOW ALL MAC AUTHENTICATION] along with profiling data to select the appropriate enforcements.
