VPN authentication with checkpoint user password

Wayne_Hammond — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 16:32:30 GMT

Hi,

We use RSA Radius servers for MFA.

Is it still possible to use a CheckPoint user with password to logon to VPN?

I say is it possible, because at the moment it fails

Version R80.40

Regards

Would you mind clarify something for me please? When you say it fails, are you referring to someone just using local VPN account to try and log in? The reason I ask this is because if you have Radius as GENERIC auth method on the firewall, then user/pass will never work, so what you would have to do is what I attached as a screenshot. Now, if you do that, to take full effect, people would have to actually delete/re-create vpn site, so gateway can fetch the right informations.

Hit me up if you want to do remote session, happy to show you.

Cheers.

No problem...I have R81.10, R81 and R80.40 fully working labs, so can show you any time, but in all honestly, I think this functionality had not changed in a decade now :))

You are probably right, haven't tried it since R60.* I think.

My colleague in Paris was trying it and I honestly could not rememer

Have a great weekend
