Integrating Google LDAP in Check Point Firewall R82 with Certificate

CEEJAY — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 01:27:09 GMT

I am trying to integrate a google ldap in my checkpoint firewall R82. I imported the google.crt in Trusted CA and create a host object named ldap.google.com and resolve ip from name. After that, I created an LDAP Account Unit in SmartConsole. I input the required details, I used the OPSEC profile. Select the ldap.google.com host as server, I also enable the Use SSL for Encryption (Port 636). I fetched the fingerprint and I think it is successful, but when I try to fetch the branches, there is an error. Does check point need certificate and key? If yes, does importing it in trusted CA enough? or is there other way to install it, and where can i also install the key?

The primary use case for LDAP has always been on-premise Active Directory.
Not sure if it will work with Google's LDAP offering or not.
You can try some of the ldapsearch commands in this SK to see if you can get more information about what's happening: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk113747
