delete and recreate of VPN site in Check Point Mobile VPN client after switch to RADIUS auth

Hello,

for our Check Point mobile access VPN users we need to switch from Checkpoint Password authentication to RADIUS authentication. All works well except that I have to delete the existing site and re-create it in the Check Point Mobile Access VPN client. I use exactely the same settings in the Check Point Mobile Access VPN client at first startup after re-creation of the site.

Without re-creating the site, it is not possible to connect after a a user was changed to RADIUS auth. in the user object.

Is there a way to avoid having to re-create the site in Check Point Mobile Access VPN client when a user is changed from CP password auth to Radius auth?

If there is no way to avoid that, which file do I have to delete or overwrite to delete the site remotely (I am using a remote software deployment tool to deploy Check Point Mobile Access VPN client).

Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards

Stefan

Because it's a change in authentication mechanism, deleting and re-adding the site is required.
The file is trac.config and it should be in C:\Program Files (X86\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect (location may be different with Harmony Endpoint).
Note that it requires a restart of the VPN service.
