Starting verification for the Trusted Network Connect client

Learn how to verify the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) client.

Use one of the following methods for client verification:

The IP referrer daemon on the Virtual I/O Server > (VIOS ) forwards the client IP to the TNC server: The client LPAR acquires the IP and tries to access the network. The IP referrer daemon on VIOS detects the new IP address and forwards it to the TNC server: The TNC server initiates verification on receiving the new IP address.
The TNC server verifies the client periodically: The administrator can add the client IPs that are to be verified in the TNC policy database. The TNC server verifies the clients that are in the database. The reverification happens automatically at regular intervals with reference to the recheck_interval attribute value that is specified in the /etc/tnccs.conf configuration file.
The administrator initiates the client verification manually: The administrator can initiate the verification manually to verify whether a client is added to the network by running the following command:
```
pconf verify -i <ip>
```

Note: For resources that are not connected to a VIOS , the clients can be verified and updated when they are added manually to the TNC server.
