Issue/Introduction
During PAM SC endpoint operation when both UNAB and PAM SC are installed in the same endpoint, agent_debug in the agent, and the DH/policyorchestrator log show different values for the node type.
For instance:

As highlighted UNAB reports the node to be of type ACUNAB, whereas PAM SC lists it as ACU. This article discusses this difference
Environment
PAM SC 14.X all versions
Resolution
This is normal behaviour. The HNODE itself will contain both types of node, that is, it will be of type (ACUNAB, AC), but since UNAB and regular seos operation work with different flows, and each one sends its specific information to its server (ActiveMQ in the case of UNAB, and the DH in the case of seos), which afterwards consolidates it in the HNODE registry in the DMS/DH. So this is a valid behaviour
