Environment
Sentinel 5.1.3
Check Point NGX High-End Security Product Suite (R61 or
R65)
Check Point Provider-1 (R61 or R65)
Situation
The Check Point Firewall 4 LEA 520 collector will not connect
to the Check Point Provider-1 R61 software.
The collector is configured to use a clear text communication
method.
This method worked in previous versions of the Check Point
Provider-1 software.
Newer versions of the Check Point Provider-1 software does not
allow for clear text communications.
Resolution
The Check Point Provider-1 software does not allow for clear
text communications. Please configure your Check Point LEA
client ( Check Point Firewall 4 LEA 520 collector ) for"SSL with Certificate Communication". There is a section in
the Check_Point_Firewall_4_LEA_520.pdf that comes with the
collector that describes how to configure the LEA client in SSL
mode. Please refer to the documentation for the configuration
settings.
