Use this window to add a new test set for a third-party assessment agent (an assessment agent that is not supplied or supported by NAC Manager). You can also use this window to edit an existing "Other" test set. Test sets let you define what type of assessment to execute (in this case, the third-party assessment), what parameters to pass to the assessment server, and which resources to use. When you add a new test set, it becomes available for selection in the Edit Assessment Configuration window.
To add an "Other" test set, click 
(the configuration menu
button in the Test Sets section of the
Edit Assessment
Configuration window) and select Add Other. You can also click
the Add button in the Manage
Test Sets window.
To edit an "Other" test set, from the
Edit Assessment
Configuration window, click on the test set you want to edit, then click
(the configuration menu button in the Test Sets section), and
select Edit. You can also click
the Edit button in the Manage
Test Sets window.

- Parameters (optional)
- Enter the parameters for the assessment server to use when performing the assessment. These parameters would be specific to the third-party assessment server you are using; refer to the third-party assessment server documentation for more information.
- Test Set Assessment Resources
- Define which assessment servers you want to have perform the assessments.
- Load Balance All - Balance the assessment load across all of the third-party assessment servers of this type on the network.
- Use Assessment Server Pool - as a more granular
approach, you can specify an assessment server pool. For example, if you
have four third-party assessment servers of this type, you can put server A and server B
in server pool 1, and server C and server D in server pool 2. Then, you
can specify which server pool the configuration should use.
Use the configuration menu button to:
- Add - Open the Add Assessment Server Pool window where you can add a new server pool.
- Edit - Open the Edit Assessment Server Pool window where you can edit the selected server pool.
- Used By - List all assessment test sets currently using the selected server pool.
- Manage - Open the Manage Assessment Server Pools window where you can view and define the assessment server pools used in your assessment configurations.
