Transferring agent information externally
==================================================

.. note:: 
  
   - Transferring agent information externally is available from Genian NAC version 6.0.23 or higher. For versions below 6.0.23, please use the Deploy Files V2 plugin.

- Agent information external transmission is used when you want to integrate the agent's authentication information with external third-party applications.
- When a node performs authentication and the agent's authentication status becomes either Authenticated or Deauthenticated, the authentication information is transmitted to an external third-party application. This is used to perform authentication across multiple solutions with a single authentication process.

#. Go to **Policy** in the top panel.
#. Go to **Policy > Node Policy > Agent Action** in the left Policy panel.
#. Find and click **Transferring agent information externally** in the Agent Action window.

#. For **CWP Message**, add message to be displayed in accordance with the
   Policy.
#. For **Label**, add labels to help categorize your plugins with custom labels
   that appear in the "Description" field.

Under **Agent Actions** section:

#. For **Boolean Operator**, choose **AND** or **OR** to add optional
   conditions.
#. For **Settings**, click **Add** and select your optional conditions.
