Identity Collector filter configuration from external source

phlrnnr — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 13:52:09 GMT

@Royi_Priov I'd like to ask for a feature request to allow the identity collector to be able to pull in some configurations from an external source. For example, we have 6 identity collector servers deployed due to scale needs, and whenever we need to update the filter list, we have to do it manually in 6 places. It would be great to be able to update the filters in one central place, and have it deployed automatically to all 6 identity collectors.

This could be done from SmartConsole, perhaps. Or maybe a remote SFTP server that gets configured in the identity collector, etc.

Thanks for consideration!

Phil

This is the wrong place for RFEs - please use http://www.checkpoint.com/rfe/rfe.htm instead !

I understand that. However, ideas posted on the forums, I find, typically get better traction than the official link you posted.

Sounds like a nice idea @Royi_Priov

We certainly take ideas from the community as well as the RFE page and the local offices.

Hi @phlrnnr !

It's indeed sounds like a nice idea.

As mentioned here, please make it an official request via RFE, and I will ask my team to estimate the effort for this.

Thanks,
