NAP client commands

The following entries provide details for each command.

add server

Adds the uniform resource locator (URL) of a Health Registration Authority (HRA) server to a trusted server group.

Syntax

add server [ group = ] group [ url = ] url [ [ processingorder = ] processingorder ]

Parameters

  • group
    Required. Specifies the name of the trusted server group to which you want to add an HRA server.
  • url
    Required. Specifies the URL of an HRA server that you want to add to the trusted server group. If the trusted server group requires server verification (https:), then the URL must contain the https:// prefix.
  • processingorder
    Optional. Designates the processing order of the HRA URL in the list of URLs in the trusted server group. If you do not specify the processing order, the URL is added to the end of the list and is processed last.

Example

add server group = "group1" url = "url1" processingorder = "1"

add trustedservergroup

Adds a trusted server group.

add trustedservergroup [ name = ] name [ [ requirehttps= ] ENABLE | DISABLE ]

Parameters

  • name
    Required. Specifies the name of the trusted server group that you want to add to the NAP client configuration.
  • requirehttps
    Optional. Specifies whether server verification (https:) is required for all servers in this group. If not specified, https: is enabled by default.

set enforcement

Enables or disables NAP enforcement clients in the NAP client configuration. When NAP enforcement clients are enabled, NAP clients can connect to a network with the same type of enforcement server. For example, if a NAP client has the DHCP enforcement client enabled, the NAP client can connect to your network with a DHCP NAP enforcement server. You must specify one or more enforcement clients. By default, all enforcement clients are disabled.

Syntax

set enforcement [ ID = ] ID [ ADMIN = ] ENABLE | DISABLE

Parameters

  • ID
    Required. Specifies the identifier of an installed enforcement client to be enabled or disabled. You can view a list of available enforcement clients and their associated IDs with the show configuration command.
  • ADMIN

Example

set enforcement ID = 79619 ADMIN = "ENABLE"

set hash

Sets the hash algorithm that will be used on the target computer. You can obtain the object identifier (OID) from the "show hashes" command.

Syntax

set hash [ oid = ] oid

Parameters

  • oid
    Required. Specifies the OID of the hash algorithm. You can specify only one OID.

Example

set hash oid = "1.2.840.113549.1.1.5"

set server

Sets the URL and processing order of an HRA server within an existing trusted server group.

Syntax

set server [ group = ] group [ url = ] url [ processingorder = ] processingorder

Parameters

  • group
    Required. Specifies the name of an existing trusted server group that contains the HRA server that you want to add or modify.
  • url
    Required. Specifies the HRA server URL. If the trusted server group requires server verification (https:), then the URL must use the https:// prefix. If the URL is not found in the specified trusted server group, it will be added.
  • processingorder
    Required. Designates the processing order of the HRA URL in the list of URLs in the trusted server group.

Example

set server group = "group1" url = "url1" processingorder = "1"

set tracing

Specifies whether tracing is enabled and the amount of information that is logged by NAP client. Although both parameters are optional, you must specify at least one parameter.

Syntax

set tracing [ [ state = ] ENABLE | DISABLE [ level = ] BASIC | ADVANCED | VERBOSE ]

Parameters

  • state
    Optional. Specifies whether tracing is enabled or disabled. If you specify ENABLE, NAP client creates a trace log file. If you specify DISABLE, NAP client does not create a trace log file. The default is DISABLE. If you enable tracing but do not specify a value for level, NAP client uses the default level value of BASIC
  • level
    Optional. Specifies the amount of information that is logged by NAP client and that appears in the tracing log file. If you specify BASIC, the least amount of information is logged in the trace log file. If you specify ADVANCED, a greater amount of information is logged in the trace log file. If you specify VERBOSE, all information is logged in the trace log file. The default is BASIC. If you do not specify a value for state, NAP client uses the default state value of DISABLE.

Example

set tracing state = "ENABLE" level = "ADVANCED"
