connect to endpoint trough script/shortcut using Azure MFA not possible

nadlech — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 03:33:48 GMT

I am trying to connect with the following command, but I am not successful:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Security\Endpoint Connect\trac" connectgui

Then I get the following information:

Connect will be handled by other GUI client.
Identity Provider authentication is not supported with the command line utility.
Use GUI interface to connect to your gateway.

Also tried to use TrGUI, but It does not open the authentication window (in my case edge explorer in order to authenticate).

Is there any possibility to open the Authentication window trough the cli or a shortcut?

I am using E87.62

I’ll check with R&D, but I assume this is not currently supported.
Having said that, it might be worth upgrading to a newer client (Believe E88.50 is the most recent).

Hi,
Thanks for the fast reply. So, I'll wait until this feature gets implemented and then wait until my IT-Department updates our clients to the respective version. Until then I will have to do some more clicks when accessing my intranet from Home. I think I can live with both 😃

R&D confirmed this is not currently implemented (invoking SAML Auth via CLI).
