About the Failure Mode

Use the options in the Attribute Set Lookup Failure frame to define the action the
PolicyAssistant should take in the event an Attribute Set cannot be found. Such a failure
might be caused by an error in a Session-Template attribute in a User Profile, or by an
error when giving the Attribute Set a name.

The three options, are as described below in

Table 9-3

.
