MAC Authentication Use Case
This Service supports Network Devices, such as printers or handhelds. The following image illustrates the overall flow
of control for this Policy Manager Service. In this service, an audit is initiated on receiving the first MAC

after a short session timeout) uses the cached results from the audit to determine posture and role(s) for the device
