So you mean you're looking for a way to tell the VPN server to switch from quarantine to full access? At this point, that mechanism is presumably "whatever you use to change the VPN configuration," because you're probably making changes to the access control lists, right? If you can control the client side can you trigger a re-authentication request or something like that? How do you communicate this change of status through ISA? > When you see the price of a solution such as CISCO NAC (and > the limited > service it provides) .. linux is really somthing good for companies. The Trusted Network Connect subgroup of the TCG has just released the first stage of their specification for endpoint integrity measurements and actions. They don't have the APIs for communicating "quarantine decisions" to the network infrastructure, but since TNC is the open standard effort in this area, you probably want to check it out: https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/downloads/TNC/
