| Limit number of End-Systems with the same Username | The workflow reads all end-systems and process only those in Accept state. If the number of end-systems with the same name is higher than threshold then one of following will happen: UserName can be added to defined User Group and all end-systems are reauthenticated. All MACs for that username are added to defined ES group and all those end-systems are reauthenticated. Only older MACs for that username are added to defined ES group and are reauthenticated. | Define number of allowed end-systems with the same username, action what will happen, group to add MACs/Username. Schedule the workflow execution. | 8.4.2.38v2 |

| User authenticated on domain computer | Add MAC to Domain Computers, Clear old End-Systems in the group | "Add MAC to Domain Computers" is executed when computer authenticates. The MAC address is added to End-System and timestamp is created (updated). Consequent User authentication can be combined with condition of End-System group. "Clear old End-Systems in the group" checks if the timestamp is older than X hours and old End-Systems are deleted from the group. | Create End-System group "Domain Computers". Create User Group Username starts with host/. Create notification Domain authentication - after logoff. Create notification Domain authentication - after boot. Configure inputs for workflows. Schedule the workflow execution to clean old end-systems from End-Systems group. Create NAC rule | 8.3.1.9v3 8.3.1.9v5 |
| Add NSI to Vlan Egress = After Policy Enforcement | Run Add NSI After Policy Enforcement, Add NSI prefix to vlan egress | There maybe tagged egress vlans in the policy profiles. This workflow ensures these egress vlans are mapped to proper NSI on EXOS switch. This check is executed on each reachable device in the policy domain, when the enforce is completed. | Import both workflows. The "Run Add NSI After Policy Enforcement" should be executable by Alarm. Configure the path to the "Add NSI prefix to vlan egress" workflow. Create Alarm to execute the workflow if the policy domain is enforced. Create topology if you do not have any. Create Service and Application. Assign Topology to the Site. Assign Service Definition to the Site. | 8.4.0.107v11 8.3.1.9v35 |
